Cool Down with Homemade Ice Lollies This Summer
July 3, 2018Here at Trabolgan Holiday Village, we’re looking forward to some long, sunny days this summer. Sunny days make family life easier, with plenty of outdoor play and positive vibes, and the children especially love an ice lolly to cool them down. This can get expensive, especially if you have more than one child, but there is an easy way around this. Making your own ice lollies at home can be a great way to save money and get the children involved in some fun food preparation, and we’d love to hear your own recipes, too!

Homemade Ice Lolly Recipes You’ll Love:
Ice lollies are very easy to make, and it’s great fun watching the children work out recipes of their own. Try the following, and enjoy an easy way to say yes to treats more often!
- Just juice. Making ice lollies really is as simple as pouring your favourite juice or squash into ice lolly moulds and freezing for several hours. You can try out your favourite flavours and see which works best, and get into the habit of popping some into the freezer in advance when the weather forecast looks promising!
- Make smoothies. You can create a more luxurious icy treat when you mix up a smoothie and freeze it in your ice lolly moulds. Simply blend your favourite fruits with coconut milk or cows milk, and then freeze overnight. You may find that some ingredients do not freeze as well as others, and there are a variety of recipes available online.
- Add fruit. Children will love to get creative with their ice lolly making, so encourage them to try putting fruit into the ice lolly moulds for an extra special way to cool down. Berries make a tasty addition to an ice lolly, and peach slices are delicious!
- Just for adults. Sometimes adults need a treat too, and when you make your own ice lollies, you can be sure you’ll appreciate them! Try gin and tonic ice lollies, or add Pimms to a fruity cocktail and freeze in your moulds – perfect for a party or a bbq with friends.
Here at Trabolgan Holiday Village, we have a great choice of cafes where you can pick up an ice lolly and make the most of your summer holiday!
