Four cream coloured ice lollies sit on a plate surrounded by sprigs of mint, peaches and a zucchini

I like to make ice blocks with whole fruit for more texture and fibre. You can use any summer fruit, plus I like to add some zucchini to add a creamy texture without adding cream.

INGREDIENTS

Makes 4

2 peaches (about 250 grams), chopped

1 small zucchini (about 100 grams), peeled and chopped

handful of mint leaves

1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

 

METHOD

Place the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend together until smooth. Pour into ice block moulds and freeze until solid. Run the moulds under hot water to loosen for easy removal. Eat immediately, sitting in the afternoon shade.
