STRAWBERRY MILK POPS

Steps:

• Hull strawberries and blitz in a food processor until smooth. Mix in milk and condensed milk.
• Pour the mixture into 12 ice-lolly moulds and attach the tops. Freeze for a minimum of 4 hrs until solid. Warm the moulds with your hands or under warm water to release the pops. Will keep in the freezer for up to 2 months.

STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Put the strawberries in a food processor or blender. Whizz to a purée, then add the lemon juice to taste - if the strawberries are quite tart you'll only need a little.
• Warm the cream and milk in a pan until just steaming, not boiling. Whisk the sugar and egg yolks in a bowl for a minute or two until pale yellow. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the eggs, whisking as you do. Once fully incorporated, strain through a sieve back into the pan. Gently cook over a low-medium heat until it thickens slightly - it should coat the back of your spoon and leave a channel if you run your finger through it (this will happen at about 82-85C). Be careful not to overcook it as the eggs will scramble. Transfer to a bowl. Cover and cool for 10 mins, then chill for 1 hr.
• Stir the strawberry purée and vanilla through the cold custard. Taste to see if it needs a little more lemon or vanilla.
• Freeze the ice cream in an ice cream maker, or container in the freezer. If you don't have an ice cream maker, freeze for 4 hrs, whisking vigorously or blending in a food processor every hour to remove any ice crystals. Will keep in the freezer for up to two months.

EASY STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Pull the green hulls out of the strawberries. If they are still quite hard, cut them in half or quarters with a table knife. Tip them into a flat-bottomed dish.
• Use a potato masher to squash the strawberries as much as you can. Tip into a bowl. Ask your grown-up helper to give you a hand if you need to.
• Add the mascarpone and mash this in - don't worry if it is a bit lumpy. Add the condensed milk and mix everything together. Don't worry if the mix is streaky.
• Spoon the mixture into a metal or plastic box and put it in the freezer. Wait until the next day or at least 6 hours before scooping into bowls or cones. Decorate how you like.
