Choc Ices on a Stick

As we get nearer to the Summer, the days are getting warmer and the evenings are getting longer, and the chime of the ice cream van can be heard (my kids no longer believe me when I tell them that the scrap man has changed his tune). I begrudge forking out an arm and a leg for ice creams from the van when I am in my own home - especially when the kids skip back smugly with a hideous blue lolly in their hands!

Here are two simple ideas to keep smiles on the kids faces, and the money firmly in your pocket!

Choc Ices on a Stick

Choc Ices on a Stick - makes approx 6

Lolly sticks (or coffee stirrers cut to size)
Silicone mould (I used a Dariole mould)
Vanilla ice cream
150g Dr Oetker Fine Cooks' Milk Chocolate
Vegetable oil
Dr Oetker chocolate beans
  • Fill the moulds with the ice cream, compacting it into the mould, and sticking the lolly sticks into the ice cream
  • Place in the freezer for a few hours to harden
  • Remove the ice creams from the mould and place back in the freezer for 20 minutes
  • Melt the chocolate in the microwave on short bursts, stirring regularly, until melted and smooth
  • Stir in a little oil to make the consistency a little runnier
  • Coat the ice cream with the chocolate and sprinkle a few chocolate beans on the top
  • Return to the freezer for at least an hour

Another idea for a frozen treat is to pop a Jaffa Cake Mini Roll onto a stick and place in the freezer for a couple of hours, making a change from the regular way of eating mini rolls!
