Strawberry cheesecake lollies

MAKES 6 LOLLIES

Light, refreshing, and much healthier than shop-bought ones

YOU WILL NEED

150g strawberries

90g caster sugar

1tsp vanilla extract

500g low-fat natural yogurt

100g white chocolate, melted and cooled

60g hundreds and thousands

HOW TO DO IT

1 Put the strawberries, sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl. Crush the fruit with a fork until broken up, then mix in the sugar and yogurt.

2 Transfer to a jug, then divide between 6 ice-lolly moulds. Add a popsicle stick to each and freeze for at least 4 hrs, or overnight, until solid.

3 Once frozen, remove the lollies from the moulds. Dip the end of each lolly in the chocolate, then sprinkle with hundreds and thousands. Serve your creations straight away, or put them on a lined tray, wrap well and return to the freezer until ready to serve.
