As people all over the country are firing up barbecues and getting out the garden furniture, a chilled after-dinner treat is a great way to stay cool this summer. Have fun making frozen desserts with these refreshing ideas from Squires Kitchen.

 

When it’s too hot to slave over the oven, make delicious ice creams on sticks quickly and easily with the innovative Silikomart Easy Cream silicone moulds. Make up a delicious batch of homemade ice cream and flavour with SK Flower Waters for a delicate taste, or add a few drops of SK Vanilla or Raspberry Flavourings for more traditional varieties. Choose between the Classic, Heart or Chocostick silicone moulds, spoon the ice cream into your chosen mould, insert a lolly stick (provided with the moulds) and leave to set in the freezer.

 

Once they are ready, invite friends and family to dip their ice creams in an indulgent layer of delicious SK Ice Cream Dipping Chocolate. Rich in cocoa butter, our dipping chocolate is made especially for ice creams as it sets quickly and doesn’t break under extremely cold temperatures, giving it that all-important ‘crack’ when bitten into. Simply melt the chocolate slowly in a microwave, dip the ice cream into it and set in the freezer for a minute until the covering has fully hardened. Guests can also add an extra bite to their ice creams with a sprinkling of SK Hazelnut Crunch or SK Popping Candy.

 

If everyone is on their way but you’ve run out of time to make your own ice cream, simply turn shop-bought ice cream into an impressive decorative dessert with our SK Great Impressions Silicone Cut & Form Moulds. Allow some good-quality ice cream (not soft scoop) to soften slightly then fill the patterned side of the mould – the Vine Leaf mould is pictured – and place the filled mould back in the freezer to harden. Once it has firmed, remove the ice cream leaf and serve with a selection of summer berries for a fresh, pretty dessert.

 

You can also use the Cut & Form moulds to make beautiful ice leaves – try making them colourful using liquid food colours or add flavour with fruit juice.
