Quick Blitz Mango, Chia Seed & Lime Popsicles

July 18

Perhaps in Ireland we’ve not quite gotten around to the ice pop trend but the satisfaction found in blitzing up summer fruits and freezing in ice pop moulds is certainly not lost on me. If you would prefer a lighter pop, remove the yoghurt and double the quantity of mango.

Method

  1. 1. Blitz the mango, lime juice and lime zest in a food processor until a smooth puree forms. Transfer to a bowl and mix through the chia seeds.
  2. 2. Spoon two tablespoons for the mango puree into each of a set of six popsicle moulds, followed by two tablespoons of yoghurt and a final two tablespoons of mango puree. Add a wooden stick to each mould and transfer to the freezer to set overnight.
  3. 3. Remove from the freezer and carefully run the moulds under warm water to loosen the pops.
  4. 4. Remove from the freezer and carefully run the moulds under warm water to loosen the pops.

Deep Fried Ice Cream Balls with Honey & Toasted Sesame

January 30

The excitement and magic of deep fried ice cream was not lost on me as a child. How could they possibly stick perfect balls of cold ice cream into screaming hot oil without them melting into oblivion? The secret, I have learned, is in the coating, which can come in many forms but I quite like the idea of sandwiching the icecream between moist madeira cake and forming into perfect little balls. These little showstoppers can be prepared in advance, kept in the freezer and dropped into hot oil when you are ready to serve. Serve with a generous drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of toasted sesame for complete deep fried ice cream perfection.

Chocolate & Hazelnut Nutella Semifreddo

February 10

A semifreddo is a light, velvety Italian treat. Technically it’s a frozen dessert but when served, it’s more like a chilled mousse, hence the name ‘half-cold’! Drizzled with melted nutella and topped with roasted hazelnuts, this is a perfect make-ahead dinner party dessert.
