Frozen Blueberry Yogurt Lollies

Serves four

Ingredients

• 200g blueberries [fresh or frozen]
• Zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 250g thick yoghurt
• 50g granola

Preparation method

1. Gently heat the berries with the lemon juice and honey [or maple syrup] in a pan for 10 minutes, or until most of the berries have burst.
2. Allow to cool while you mix the lemon zest with the yoghurt.
3. Loosely stir a few spoonfuls of the berry mixture into the yoghurt, swirling it through so it isn’t fully combined.
4. Fill the lolly moulds. Pour in some yoghurt, then a good sprinkling of granola, followed by the burst berry mixture. Top with more yoghurt, finishing with a good sprinkling of granola. Fill the rest of the moulds and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours to set.
5. Serve ice cold. These are best eaten within a week but will last for longer.
