Ingredients
- ⅛ cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp water
- 2 oz lemon juice juice of about half a lemon
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 ¼ oz meringues crushed into small pieces (have to be able to fit into the mold)
- 8 oz strawberries chopped into little pieces (also have to fit into the mold)
Instructions
- In a tiny pot, place the sugar, water and lemon juice and heat, just until the sugar melts, then set aside to cool.
- Place ¾ (6 oz or 170 g) of the chopped strawberries in a food processor, or blender with the cooled syrup and puree until smooth. Set aside.
- Whip the cream until it stands in soft peaks, then stir in the yogurt until well blended. Add the crushed meringue pieces and then the chopped strawberries.
- Next, add the strawberry syrup, and fold in gently. Do not overmix.
- Fill mold to the fill line (leave a little room for expansion).
- This mixture is quite thick, so use a long skewer or fondue fork to reach to the bottom of each mold to remove air bubbles as much as possible.
- Place top on mold and insert wooden sticks in each mold, then place in freezer for at least 6 hours, or until completely frozen. (When removing from mold, run under warm water until the ice lolly is easily removable. If you pull prematurely, you may only get half of it on the stick, as I learned).
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Use raspberries for another flavor!
