Today I ventured out early to buy maiden aunt and grandfather the usual stash of comestibles for xmas and while out I picked up some icy block moulds (including rockets!).

A couple of punnets of strawberries later and we were ready for our first (strawberry) paletas!

(had to top one up with a dash of greek yoghurt)

Holy!Goodness! I cannot wait to try the spicy pineapple (p.32) or the yoghurt with berries (p.40)

So simple. So summery. Golly I wish we had thought of this before we spent all of that dosh on the ice-cream maker (which we’ve since disposed of).
