Nectarine and white chocolate yoghurt lollies

Ingredients

• 6 ice lolly moulds
• 250 g ripe nectarines (about 2)
• 45 ml (3 tbsp) water
• 10 ml (2 tsp) light muscovado sugar
• 300 ml full cream plain yoghurt
• 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
• 15 ml (1 tbsp) honey
• 150 g white chocolate, melted (optional)

Method

1. Chop the nectarines into small chunks, discarding the stones.
2. Place the fruit, water, and sugar in a small pot and stir over medium heat to dissolve the sugar.
3. Allow to simmer gently for 10 minutes or until the fruit has softened. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
4. Transfer to a food processor (or use a stick blender) and process into a puree. If you don’t have a blender, you can mash the fruit by hand. Set aside.
5. Place the yoghurt, vanilla, and honey in a separate bowl and mix well to combine.
6. Add the nectarine puree and gently swirl together once or twice so that streaks remain in the mixture.
7. Spoon the mixture into the lolly moulds.
8. Transfer to the freezer and leave for approximately five hours or overnight until frozen solid.
9. Once frozen run a little hot water over the outside of each mould to help loosen the lolly, remove, and serve.
