Peachy pops

I was looking for a fun way to use up about 30 tins of sliced peaches... see earlier post on http://whatsfordinner-mum.blogspot.com/2012/12/christmas-craft-tradition.html which I prepared for my two girls' class.  I searched 'what to do with tinned peaches' and Del Monte, the brand of peaches had this delicious recipe listed on their website.  These are ideal, pureed peaches and vanilla yoghurt - low calorie and delicious. 

I have a few classroom parties coming up over the festive season so this is the perfect solution!

You could of course use peaches, strawberries, mango, banana or any combination you like. The girls helped me pour them into the cups and they were frozen in just a few hours.  These are going to become a regular treat in our house from now on.

Makes 8 serves

Ingredients:
1 15oz (430g) tin of sliced or halved peaches
8 oz low fat vanilla yoghurt
8 (4oz) plastic cups
8 wooden icypole sticks

Method:

• Pour the entire undrained tin of peaches into a blender and puree
• Add the yoghurt and blend until well combined and smooth
• Pour into cups and place in the freezer until partially frozen (about 45min-1hr) and then place a wooden stick in each cup
• Continue to freeze completely, 3+ hrs or overnight
• Run a little warm water over the cups and twist them out when you're ready to eat
