Growing up within an Extended family household, meant Lots of Happy Times with cousins and siblings. Ice Lollies are what wonderful childhood memories, one of many, are made of. Most especially these Rose and Strawberry Milkshake Ice Lollies, that are so very ease to make, and with a little bit of patience (just for freezing time), you too could be enjoying these sweet, icy cold delights.

So just before I left Bahrain to head back home, That little sleepy shopper in me decided to purchase some goodies, and generally NOT being a Shopaholic, I tend to lean more towards buying stuff I may need in the Kitchen or Home. So when my eye caught this particular Ice lollies Mould on SALE, I knew I had to have it. I had already envisioned which ice lollies I would be 1st setting in this dainty looking , mini silicone ice mould.

I love the that this has a hard, durable plastic outer edge, that makes handling and moving the mould so much easier. The Inner silicone moulds, are of great quality and absolutely no efforts was required during unmoulding. The ice lollies simply just pops right out, to present the cutest looking mini ice pops. In South Africa, we are headed into our Summer months, so that means Unbearably hotter days, and with schools coming to the end of term for the year, it means the kids will be out of school soon.

So there is no better time for me to share this, a recipe I use to make a regular ‘old fashioned’ milkshake that we usually have during the Fasting month of Ramadaan. I have always made what leftover milkshake I’ve had during this time, into ice lollies. This is made using a Rose Syrup and a Strawberry Flavoured powdered Drink. I still have 2 bottles of Mullah’s Rose Syrup my beloved Late Mum (Bless her Soul), always packed away for me. And these were the types of ice lollies my late aunt (Bless her Soul), had always had stocked in her freezer for us Kids way back when… so making these ice lollies, was truly a trip down memory lane for me, fondly reminiscing about my childhood Summer Holidays…“THOSE WERE THE DAYS” .

Milkshake Ice Lollies...are what Fond Childhood Memories are made off. — Milkshake Ice Lollies…are what Fond Childhood Memories are made off.

If you don’t have Rose syrup, I will insert a link that you can head over too, my other blog venture, that shares a tried and tested rose syrup recipe. Lets get cracking… and maybe this could be a way you can keep the kids busy during the holidays, by getting them to make this easy milkshake ice lollies.

Crispy, Flavourful and Light, these Strawberry Pop-Puff Tarts, are dainty little sweet treats to end a lovely meal.

So with little time, on my hands during Ramadaan, This is one Sweet Treat I took time out to make. My Habibi, Imran, does love a sweet nibble after Late night prayers (Taraweeh), and I have been making this type of pastry for years, but shaped differently, This One here, I had to try, inspired after watching a video, I did not follow it as it was, but created a version that we would enjoy. And ENJOY we did.

Here is my write up of How To Make these Sweet Puffy treats, and you can also view the little video below I created with the steps I took to make them. Having ready Cut Square Pastry available on the market these days, such treats are becoming ever so easier to whip up.

Do Give this one a try, and I look forward to your feedback,

~ Seal edges with a fork and Egg Wash tops of pastry
~ Cut off tops of a strawberry and place the strawberry cut side down into the jam centre.
~ Bake in moderate oven until golden in colour.
~ Jam will ooze out while baking, don’t stress, simply top up the centre with warmed jam once pastry is out of the oven.
~ Cool well, and serve with a dusting of Icing Sugar.
ENJOY !!!

NOTES BY FOODEVA MARSAY
* ADD THE STRAWBERRY JAM TO SMOOTH CREAM CHEESE, BEFORE FILLING INTO PASTRY AND TOPPING WITH THE CUT STRAWBERRY.
* TRY A DIFFERENT COMBINATION OF JAM(LIKE AN APRICOT JAM, AND TOP WITH THE MATCHING FRUIT PIECE OF AN APRICOT.
* THIS IDEA CAN BE MADE USING A SWEET SHORTCRUST PASTRY AS WELL.
