Peach flavored ice lollies

Peach flavored ice lollies (or popsicles) are a refreshing summer treat—sweet, juicy, and bursting with that classic ripe peach taste! They're perfect for hot days, and you can make them at home with fresh or canned peaches for a natural flavor.

Here are a couple of popular, easy versions that highlight pure peach goodness:

Simple Pure Peach Ice Lollies (3-Ingredient Version)

This one keeps it super fresh and fruity—great if you want something light and dairy-free.

Ingredients (makes about 6-8 lollies):

  • 4-5 ripe peaches (peeled, pitted, and chopped) or about 400-500g canned peach halves in juice (drained)
  • 2-3 tablespoons sugar, honey, or agave (adjust to taste—ripe peaches are naturally sweet!)
  • Juice of ½-1 lemon (for brightness and to prevent browning)

Steps:

  1. Blend the peaches, sweetener, and lemon juice until completely smooth.
  2. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  3. Pour into popsicle molds, insert sticks, and freeze for 4-6 hours (or overnight).
  4. Run under warm water to release from molds.

For extra creaminess, swap in a splash of peach nectar or orange juice.

Peaches and Cream Ice Lollies (Creamy Version)

This is like a frozen peaches-and-cream dessert—richer and more indulgent, similar to popular "peaches and cream" styles.

Ingredients (makes about 6 lollies):

  • 400g tin peach halves in juice (or fresh equivalent, about 4 peaches)
  • 300g natural yogurt (Greek or plain works great)
  • 1 tbsp honey or agave
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or paste
  • Juice of 1 lime (for zing)

Steps:

  1. Blend everything until smooth and creamy.
  2. Pour into molds, add sticks, and freeze for 4-8 hours.
  3. For a swirled effect, layer plain peach puree with the yogurt mix.

These are crowd-pleasers—kids love the bright peach ones, while the creamy versions feel like a treat. Variations include adding ginger for a spicy kick, mint for freshness, or even a splash of rosé for an adult version.

If you're craving store-bought, brands like Outshine make delicious peach fruit bars with real fruit.

What kind are you in the mood for—super simple and fruity, or the creamy dreamy type? 


Kiwi flavored ice lollies

Here's a simple, refreshing homemade kiwi flavored ice lollies (also called kiwi popsicles) recipe. This version focuses on pure kiwi flavor with a touch of sweetness and lime for brightness—it's naturally vibrant green and perfect for hot days!

Ingredients (makes 6–8 ice lollies, depending on mould size)

  • 6–8 ripe kiwis (about 500–600g), peeled
  • 2–4 tablespoons sugar, honey, or your preferred sweetener (adjust to taste—kiwis vary in sweetness)
  • Juice of 1 lime (about 2–3 tablespoons) — adds zing and balances the flavor

Optional: ¼ cup water or coconut water (if you want a softer texture)

Optional extras: A few fresh mint leaves (blended in), kiwi slices for decoration, or a splash of tonic water for a fizzy twist

Instructions

  1. Peel the kiwis and chop them into chunks. (Save 1–2 kiwis to slice thinly for decoration if desired.)
  2. Add the kiwi chunks, lime juice, and sweetener to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed—ripe kiwis are quite sweet, so start low.
  3. If using, blend in mint leaves or add a little water/coconut water for a smoother pour.
  4. If you want pretty layered or decorated lollies: Place 1–2 thin kiwi slices against the sides of each mould for a nice visual effect.
  5. Pour the kiwi puree into ice lolly moulds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion during freezing.
  6. Insert the sticks (if your moulds require partial freezing first, freeze for 30–60 minutes, then add sticks to keep them centered).
  7. Freeze for at least 4–6 hours, or overnight until solid.

To unmould: Run the moulds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen.

Enjoy immediately for the best texture!

Tips

  • For creamier lollies → Blend in ½ cup Greek yogurt or coconut milk.
  • For extra fun → Alternate layers with blended strawberry or mango puree for a tropical twist.
  • Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks (if they last that long!).
