home made mini-milks

atrebor

Seeing as this hot spell seems to be staying with us - does anyone have a recipe for home made minimilk icelollys? I've tried freezing milkshake and smoothie but they're lovely but not quite the same.

Any suggestions?

frozen bananas have the same sort of texture as a mini milk.

just peel, wrap in food wrap or pop in a sandwich bag and then freeze.

Have some in the freezer at the moment, not very OS I know but very low in calories - 28 to 30 each depending on flavour :drool:

I've made lollies by freezing Angel Delight (own-brand versions of it) and they're lovely. Can snap easily though if you use skinny lolly moulds, coz of the bubbly texture, but use the chunkier lolly makers and they're fine. The chocolate ones are my favourites!

Try these:

Raspberry & Strawberry Milky Lolly
Serves 4

* 16 x Raspberries (80g)
* 10x Strawberries (150g)
* 100ml Natural Low Fat Bio Yoghurt
* 100ml Semi Skimmed Milk

1. Slice up the fruit.
2. Throw all the ingredients into a blender and blend till smooth.
3. Divide into 4 lolly makers and freeze over night

Banana & Chocolate Lolly
Serves 4

* 2 Medium Bananas
* 3 Tbsp Natural Low Fat Bio Yogurt
* 6 Drops of Vanilla Extract (Optional)
* 60g Dairy Milk Chocolate
* 2 Tbsp Semi Skimmed Milk

1. Chop the Banana.
2. Put the chopped banana, yoghurt and vanilla extract into the blender and blend till smooth.
3. Divide the mix from the blender equally into 4 lolly makers and pop in the fridge.
4. Break the chocolate up into pieces and put it in a glass bowl with the milk.
5. Half fill a pan with water and heat it up on the hob so it boils.
6. Now place the bowl with the chocolate in over the water and continuously stir it so the chocolate blend together.
7. When you have a good melted chocolate mixture take the bowl off of the water (mind the steam) and leave to cool for 5-10 minutes at room temperature.
8. Now top up the lolly makers with the chocolate mixture and freeze over night

I love mini milks, they take me right back to childhood. But does anyone know of a supermarket that sells multipacks of mini milks which don't include the chocolate or strawberry ones ? Just the plain old original mini milks.....my local Tescos only sell the assorted flavours......
