Matcha Ice Lollies Recipe

OK, we know, summer is officially over, but it doesn't mean we can't enjoy a tasty ice treat. Especially when it involves our very favourite ingredient Matcha. I mean it's just tempting an Indian summer right?

Ingredients: (makes 4-6 ice lollies)

• 2 frozen bananas
• 1 small cup of matcha tea (espresso size)
• 4 tbsp of your favorite yogurt ( I used natural greek yogurt)
• 1 tbsp Agave nectar (honey, or your favorite syrup)
• Dark chocolate and few pistachio nuts for decorating

Method:

1. Add the frozen bananas, matcha tea, yogurt and Agave nectar to your food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Pour the mixture into ice lolly moulds and place into the freezer overnight to set.
3. Place the chocolate into a heatproof bowl, sit over a pan of barely simmering water (a bain marie) and allow to melt, stirring occasionally.
4. Remove from the heat once melted and allow to cool for a few minutes.
5. Remove the ice lollies from the freezer and carefully remove from the moulds.
6. Place the ice lollies on a cold tray or plate and decorate with the melted chocolate. Sprinkle over the chopped pistachios so they stick to the chocolate.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
