Coconut & Rose Petal Milk Lollies • Grown up Mini Milks
Last Summer the boys helped me make some fruit mini milks which went down a treat!
But when Rich and I tried them, our grown up palettes found them a little bland! So have a go at making a batch of these babies, ready for when the warmer Spring days pop their heads around the cloudy corner.
Ingredients: (makes 8 lollies)
- 1 tin 400ml coconut milk
- Large handful Summer fruits - raspberries, blackberries, currants
- 1 tablespoon sugared violets
- I tablespoon sugared lime seeds
- Handful edible rose petals
I bought all my petals from Juniper Cakery.
Strain your coconut milk through a sieve into a mixing bowl.
Add all your ingredients bar the rose petals to coconut milk, Stir gently and at the last minute add your petals.
As you pour or spoon the mix into lolly moulds add a third at a time, adding extra petals in between to ensure they aren't completely soggy by the time they are placed in the freezer.
Set in the freezer for 3-4 hour or overnight if you have time.
To make the sprinkle topping, take your sugared violets and lime seeds and gently crush into small pieces. Rip a couple of petals into little pieces.
Dip the ends of your lollies in honey and roll in the homemade sprinkles.
Delicious and divine to look at!
Now these are a proper grown up treat. You get a hint of the delicate petal flavour combined with the creamy coconut texture and then pockets of sweetness in the sugared violets and lime seeds.
What other lollies have you made? I love the idea of a homemade Summer!
