Homemade Fab Ice Lollies - a make at home version of the popular frozen UK treat, combining the flavours of coconut vanilla and strawberry water ice and dipped in milk chocolate and sprinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my favourited ice lollies growing up in the UK was the Nestle Fab Lolly (originally owned by J Lyons & Co). A popular choice among kids and even adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here in Canada, we don't get anything similar and I figured how hard could it be to create my own version that I could enjoy at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we can all enjoy this frozen treat in the hot summer months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple of things to note before you make these. <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Firstly is the amount of chocolate and coconut oil we use to melt. The final ice lolly only actually uses half of that amount. The reason we melt more than we need is that we need it deep enough for dipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coconut oil is a vital ingredient to make the melted chocolate really runny so that it coats the tip of the ice lolly in a thin layer, if you don't add the coconut oil, the melted chocolate will be much thicker and you will end up using more. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don't worry about what is left of the melted chocolate being wasted, add it to a tub and it is great for a magic shell to drizzle on some ice cream, just warm the amount you want to drizzle in the microwave at 10-second intervals until liquid like and you can drizzle or dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing I need to mention is that it is really important you ice lollies are fully frozen when you dip, don't allow them to defrost too much, if they start to melt, the chocolate won't coat them and will drizzle off and then ruin your melted chocolate dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to get these prepped for dipping is once the lollies are fully frozen, remove from the moulds and place on a tray lined with wax paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place the tray bake in the freezer allowing the tray to get really cold and the lollies really solid. That way when you remove them from the freezer the ice cold tray will prevent them from defrosting while you dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
