Equipment

  • Lolly moulds (see note d below)
  • food processor, goblet blender or stick blender

Ingredients

  • 200 g strawberries (7oz)
  • 2-3 tablespoon golden caster sugar
  • 250 g Greek yogurt 5% fat (9oz)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

To decorate (optional)

  • 125 g white, milk or dark hocolate (4oz)
  • Sprinkles such as hundreds & thousands and freeze dried strawberries.

Instructions

To make the lollies

  • Wash, hull and slice 200g (7oz) strawberries. Place into a bowl and sprinkle with 2-3 tablespoon sugar. Set aside for 5 - 10 minutes. The strawberries will start to produce juice. Blitz in a blender, food processor or with a stick blender.
  • Spoon 250g (9oz) yogurt into a bowl. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, then stir in the puréed strawberries and mix well.
  • Spoon or pour the yogurt mixture into the lolly moulds. Bang the moulds on the counter top to ensure there is no trapped air. Leave about 1cm (½in) clear from the top of the lolly mould.
  • Position the lolly sticks and the lid of the mould. Place into the freezer the right way up. Freeze for at least 4 hours.

To decorate (optional)

  • Break 125g (4oz) chocolate into small pieces and place in a heat proof bowl. Melt over a pan of hot water ensuring the base of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
  • Meanwhile place any sprinkles or freeze dried strawberries into small bowls.
  • Remove the lollies from the moulds carefully. One by one, dip into the chocolate or use a spoon pour the chocolate over the lollies (see Cook's Notes below) and quickly add the sprinkles (the chocolate will set really quickly).
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Cooks Notes
  • Removing the lollies from the mould: 
If the lollies do not release from the mould easily. Dip the mould into a bowl of warm water taking care not to let any water get into the moulds, a for a few seconds. The lollies should then pull out easily.
  • Coating in Chocolate:
If your lolly is starting to melt, or has any moisture on it at all, DO NOT dip the lolly in the melted chocolate. Any moisture getting into the chocolate will cause it to seize making it unusable.
So, rather than risking spoiling the chocolate by dipping you may find it safer to simply use a spoon to pour the chocolate over the lollies to coat them.
The chocolate will set almost immediately once in contact with the frozen lolly. Therefore decorate each lolly individually before coating the next lolly in chocolate.
Store
cCarefully wrap any spare lollies in greaseproof paper and place into an airtight container before  returning to the freezer. Store for up to 2 months.
