Packed full of summer berries this Summer Pudding ice Lolly imakes a delicious and refreshing strawberry dessert

Summer Pudding Ice Lollies (popsicles) are so refreshing and bursting with sweet and juicy summer berries.  They are a tribute to my all-time favourite summer dessert, Summer Pudding and I’ve tried to recreate that burst of flavour in a cooling iced treat.   

When I picked blackcurrants last weekend, I didn’t have time to make a summer pudding.

How to Grow Blackcurrants

Read my Step-by-Step Guide: How to Grow Blackcurrants for all the information you need to successfully grow your own blackcurrants in the garden or in a container.

Picking blackcurrants for Blackcurrant Jam

Summer Fruit Compote

However,  I did make a fruit compote using the summer berries and it occurred to me that this might make a good ice lolly, and that’s how I created Summer Pudding Ice Lollies,  and they are a triumph!

Strawberries and ice lolly

Ripe Strawberries

 When I went outside to take the photographs I was thrilled to find that there were a couple of ripe strawberries on the plants in my pots, they added the perfect finishing touch!

Ice Lolly (Popsicle) Moulds

I really recommend that you buy some ice lolly moulds. They are inexpensive and it’s so easy to make lollies at home.  They have so much more flavour and you know exactly what ingredients have gone into them.

Packed with summer berries

I love biting into these ice lollies and finding pieces of fruit.  The Ice lollies are not too sweet and it really is just like eating an iced fruit compote.

Summer Pudding with Scottish berries and sauce

Summer Pudding is a delicious traditional British no-bake dessert made with Scottish strawberries, raspberries, and blackcurrants encased in soft white bread. It is easy to make and looks impressive enough for summer celebrations and get-togethers.

Ingredients
 

  • 100 g Blackcurrants
  • 200 g Strawberries
  • 100 g Raspberries
  • 50 g Redcurrants
  • 180 g Sugar*

Instructions
 

  • Place the blackcurrants and redcurrants into a pan with the sugar and a tbsp of water.
  • Heat gently until the sugar dissolves, the juice runs and the blackcurrants start to soften.
  • Add the raspberries and strawberries and cook gently for 5 minutes more, you don’t want to break up the fruit just soften it slightly.
  • Take off the heat and cool a little, check the sweetness*, it needs to be sweeter than you need for eating as compote as the sweetness diminishes with freezing. If you need more sugar, add another tablespoonful and heat gently to dissolve.
  • Leave until completely cold.
  • Fill into lolly moulds and freeze until solid, preferably overnight.

Notes

The quantities of currants and berries can be varied it’s up to you, just check the sweetness. I didn’t have any redcurrants so added more blackcurrants, you can also use frozen fruit in your compote, I used frozen raspberries. The yield of lollies is also dependant on the size of your lolly moulds. If you have some left over, it’s lovely on greek yogurt for breakfast.

    That is one gorgeous photo. Love the colour and the flavours sound delicious. Where’s the bread though? 😉

      Thank you Choclette. Yes, well I really didn’t fancy the bread in the ice lolly, although I do love it when I make the proper pudding, but damp bread in an ice lolly? I don’t think so 🙂

    Loving the mix of summer berries and not overcooking so they retain some shape within the compote base! Perfect ice lolly, thanks for entering BSFIC!

      Thanks Kavey, I just made it as I would for Summer Pudding, I like a bit of texture and bite to my berries and it worked perfectly in the lollies. Thanks for the inspiration to make more lollies!

    Oh yes please!! I’d LOVE these especially with the black and red currants which I cannot find here in the US! I could totally replace them with other fruits/berries and make a similar lollie, though. Your photos are fab, Janice!! Keep cool!

      I wish I could send you some currants, along with the rhubarb! It’s all the rain we get that makes these fruits so good and I know that you are craving some rain just now, but hey ho, I’m sure there are compensations and I’m sure you can find some substitutions. Thanks also for the kind comments about my photos, I find that a bit of daylight helps a lot, it’s really difficult in a Scottish winter to get good photos.
