ENDINGS...

The DIY lollies have got to be one of the easiest, yet
most impressive, summertime desserts. It wows my
guests every time.

POPSICLES

Take a couple of
bananas and split
length-wise down the
middle with the bottom
peel left un-ruptured.
Push a couple of blocks
of chocolate into the
flesh. Wrap the bananas
tightly in tin foil and
place on the braai until
the peel is dark brown
in colour. Unwrap the
fruit carefully and serve
with parev ice-cream.
Lindt 70% and up is
kosher parev when
manufactured in
France.

FRUIT LOLLIES:
You can slice any fruit, but what I
find works best is kiwi, strawberries
and halved grapes. These make for
a great side profile when freezing.
You can also add some fresh mint
leaves. I always use a clear pale juice
like pineapple or lemonade flavour
(FreshFellas or Sir Juice), as this
ensures you can actually see the fruit
segments. You don’t need a lot of
juice; once the lolly holder is packed
with the fruit, it doesn’t leave much
room for the liquid. It really just fills
the gaps and works as a binding agent.
Serve on a bed of crushed ice.
