This is the first time I have used my Zoku Quick Pop Maker this year. The weather hasn't been great and one lovely day when I did decide to use it, I couldn't find the lolly sticks. I must have stored them somewhere extra safe. It is a complete mystery actually. I have turned the house upside down and still haven't found them. I eventually gave in and bought a spare set.
Voila, another nice day and I thought what could be nicer than a lovely fruit yogurt ice lolly? The flavour was purely determined by what I had to hand. So we ended up with strawberry yoghurt lollies scented with basil. Cooper, as you can see from the photos, loved them.

Strawberry & Basil Ice Lollies
Strawberry & yoghurt ice lollies scented with basil. Just wonderful for children and adults. Summer is here.
Ingredients
- 4 large strawberries
- 2 fresh basil leaves
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 1⁄3 cup/80ml greek yoghurt
- 1⁄3 cup/80ml milk
Instructions
1. Whizz up all the ingredients. 2. Taste the mixture. If the strawberries are a little tart you could add a touch of honey, although never give honey to babies under one. Alternatively you could add a smidgen of maple syrup. I don't think you will need any sweetener, the balsamic vinegar has a sweetness to it and the yoghurt will dampen any tartness from the fruit.3. Pour the mixture into ice lolly moulds and freeze until set.If you have a Zoku Quick Pop Maker, this will only take 7 minutes.4. Enjoy.notes:
I have given the prep. time as 3 minutes, this is before freezing time.
