Lime Coconut Ice Lollies Food

LIME & COCONUT ICE LOLLIES

Steps:

• Put the coconut milk, lime juice, half the zest, the sugar and vanilla bean paste in a large bowl, and mix together until smooth and well combined. Divide the mixture between the 10 cavities of your ice lolly mould and insert a stick into the middle of each (this mixture is thicker than the other lollies, so the stick can go in straight away). Freeze for at least 4 hrs or until frozen solid.
• Put the desiccated coconut in a small dry pan over a medium heat and cook, stirring regularly, until lightly toasted. Tip onto a plate and mix with the remaining zest.
• To remove the lollies, dip the mould in hot water for a few seconds, then carefully remove the lollies. Dip each lolly into the coconut mixture to serve.

PIñA COLADA ICE LOLLIES

Steps:

• Whizz the pineapple in a food processor until it is quite smooth but still has some texture. Add the Malibu, 2 tbsp lemon juice zest, icing sugar and coconut cream and whizz again to combine. Taste the mixture - it should be sweet and sharp. Add more lemon juice or icing sugar if needed. Divide between the lolly moulds and freeze for 1 hr until thick enough to hold a lolly stick upright. Push a lolly stick most of the way into each mould and freeze for another 6-8 hrs until solid.
• Meanwhile toast the coconut flakes in a dry pan until they are a light golden colour. Pull the lollies by their sticks to remove them from the mould. If they are stuck dip the mould in hot water for 10 secs and try again. Dip the tip of each lolly in the extra coconut cream then roll in the desiccated coconut. Either serve straightaway or wrap each lolly in baking parchment and store in individual airtight freezer bags for up to 1 week.
