These retro-style red and white ice lollies taste as FAB as they look! With half the calories of a shop-bought version, they make for a light, refreshing sweet treat any time of year.
So easy to make, you start by freezing the milky white layer, before adding a fruity layer of strawberry squash. We couldn’t miss off the chocolate topping, with hundreds and thousands sprinkled on as a finishing touch.
We’ve used xanthan gum to turn almond milk and no added sugar squash into deliciously syrupy ice lolly layers. You’ll find that xanthan gum is a widely used ingredient in lots of the ice lollies and ice creams that you might buy from the supermarket. It’s naturally gluten free and used to thicken and stabilise foods. You can make this recipe without it if you prefer.
What diets are these FABulous Lollies suitable for?
This FABulous Lollies recipe is suitable for vegetarian diets.
It can be made vegan and dairy free as long as you use a dairy-free or vegan chocolate. To make the recipe gluten free, simply leave off the sprinkles.
As always, take extra care when cooking for people with allergies and be sure to use different utensils, cookware and preparation areas.
Do you need any special ingredients to make FABulous Lollies?
We’ve used xanthan gum to make the layers of our lollies nice and syrupy. This is widely available in most supermarkets, in the free from and baking aisles. We like to make this recipe using Ribena No Added Sugar Strawberry squash. You will also need some ice lolly moulds to make this recipe.

Pour the strawberry layer mix into the moulds to the top of the moulds. Freeze for another 4 hours or until set.
