Fat-free Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Popsicles

Invest in popsicle / lolly moulds and you will be making these refreshing, guilt-free popsicles all summer long. (Reusable silicon or plastic popsicle/lolly moulds are approximately £9 on Amazon and will be a great investment if you have a sweet tooth. Most are 100ml in size and come in sets of 6).

Ingredients

• 230g fresh strawberries, weight after trimming
• 3 TB fructose (fruit sugar)
• 450g fat-free plain Greek-style yogurt

Method

1. Trim the strawberries and dice into small pieces. Place in a bowl and sprinkle over the fructose, mixing well. Cover and leave to macerate in the fridge overnight.
2. The next morning, blitz the strawberries to a puree and fold in three-quarters of this blitzed puree into the yogurt. Whisk well to combine.
3. Divide the strawberry yogurt between the 100ml lolly moulds*, stopping at intervals to add a little of the remaining blitzed strawberry puree. (This just makes it look pretty by giving it a mottled appearance. You can simply combine all the blitzed puree into the yogurt if that’s easier and quicker for you.) Click the lid/stick in place in each mould, and place upright in the freezer for several hours, preferable overnight.
4. Remove the popsicles from the freezer 30 minutes before eating and place them in the fridge. This will result in a softer texture – and may make it easier to remove the popsicle from the mould. (If you still struggle to remove it, run a little warm water on the outside of the popsicle mould and slide the lolly out.)
5. *You are likely to have some leftover mixture after filling the 6 moulds. You can simply place this in a small bowl or ramekin, cover with cling film and freeze along with the others, or leave unfrozen and enjoy as an addition to your breakfast smoothie.
