Fruity Chia lollies
Do you remember
?
Do you remember I was curious as to whether it could be turned into chia fruit lollies... Well I just couldn't resist giving it a go, so here we are! They are pretty good!
The recipe is pretty much identical to the pudding but to add a slight twist and colour pop I added some crushed raspberries to the mix to give a pretty colour contrast :-) I always use frozen fruits for things like this purely on a practical level as there is so much less colour bleed and crushing the
raspberries
is so easy when solid, however I do appreciate that frozen fruit has less chance of being seasonal and organic- unless of course you buy fresh and freeze them yourself- that would be best!
I doubled up the original recipe to make approx. 6 lollies. I tried to find some
silicone
lolly moulds but to no avail so my mould consisted of a hard
plastic
shell that needs running under hot water to loosen the lolly to eat. Not the easiest way to go about things and the tops did begin to go a little
melty in places
for the
photoshoot
...but no major drama!
I served up my lollies with some of my
....no way I was going to be dehydrating anytime soon ;-)
