Servings
Makes 6 popsIngredients
- 1 1/2 tbsp superfine sugar
- 3 1/2 tbsp water
- 1 1/3 cups strawberries, hulled
- juice of one orange (about 1/3 cup)
- 1 1/4 cups strawberry yogurt
Directions
Put the sugar and water in a saucepan and boil for about 3 minutes until syrupy. Set aside to cool.
Quarter the strawberries and purée in a hand blender. Press through a sieve to remove the seeds.
Combine the strawberry purée with the cooled syrup and orange juice and pour into six freezer-pop moulds until about a third full. Freeze until solid. When the first layer is set, pour in yogurt to a depth of 1 inch and freeze. Once this layer is frozen, pour in the purée mixture almost to the top, and insert a stick in each freezer pop. Freeze again.
When ready to eat, run the mould under hot water for a few seconds to loosen the freezer pops.
