Notes

Perhaps in Ireland we’ve not quite gotten around to the ice pop trend but the satisfaction found in blitzing up summer fruits and freezing in ice pop moulds is certainly not lost on me. If you would prefer a lighter pop, remove the yoghurt and double the quantity of mango.

Notes

This very cool ice-cream cake comes with a warning: once you make it, you’re going to want it again and again and again! It’s lots of fun to make and a perfect one for kids to have a go at. As it serves quite a few people, it’s perfect for birthday parties and family gatherings. When you melt the chocolate, be careful to do so over a low heat so that it doesn’t go grainy. The caramel can also be made using a tin of condensed milk, boiled for 2 hours in water at a steady simmer – make sure the water is continuously at least 2.5cm (1in) above the top of the unopened tin. Allow to cool before using.
