Serves: 5Prep time: 10 minsCook time: 20 minsFreeze time: 6-12 hours
Ingredients
- 1 tin coconut milk
- 35g, plus 1 tbsp demerara sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla bean extract
- 6 ripe peaches
DIrections
- Halve peaches by running your knife down the visible crease all the way around, then twist to open. Gently de-stone using a knife.
- Pre-heat oven to 180c/gas mark 4 and prep a baking tray with baking paper. Add the peaches cut side upwards and sprinkle over 1 tbsp of demerara sugar. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Whilst the peaches are cooking, add your tin of coconut milk to a small pan with the vanilla and 35g demerara sugar. Place on a low heat and mix until the sugar has dissolved, then remove and allow to cool. Do not let the milk bubble, a gentle steam is all you need to melt the sugar.
- Once peaches are cooked, remove flesh and place in a blender. Blitz to a puree.
- Pour the cooled coconut milk into your ice lolly mould, just below three quarters. Then add 2 tblsp of peach mix to each one, gently pushing the spoon into the mould to create a marble effect. Insert your lolly stick and freeze for a minimum of six hours. I use a silicone mould and gently dip them in warm water to release.
