A Fab was my go-to ice lolly as a nipper. It’s the ultimate three-in-one. Layers of strawberry and vanilla ice with milk chocolate and technicolour sprinkles. What’s not to love?

As the weather starts to swelter, I’m harking back to my youth to keep cool with a fab – but one that’s much better for me. First, there’s a berry-boosted ice lolly base, then a layer of creamy coconut and banana “nice cream”. And finally, in classic Fab fashion, a melted dark chocolate topping with hazelnuts and chia seeds. 

Balmy summer afternoons, here I come. 

Healthy Superfood Fab Ice Lolly

Makes 6 

Prep time 10 mins

Total time 2 ½ hours

600ml coconut yoghurt

500g mixed berries

150g dark chocolate

40g chopped hazelnuts 

2 tbsp chia seeds

2 tbsp maple syrup

2 ripe bananas

Lolly moulds

Step 1 Blitz the yoghurt, banana and maple syrup in a blender until silky smooth. Pour the mixture into your lolly moulds until around two thirds full. Pop them into the freezer for an hour to firm up.

Step 2 Whilst your first layer is in the freezer, blend together your mixed berries till smooth, adding a couple of tablespoons of water if needed. Pour the mixture into your moulds all the way to the top and put them back in the freezer.

Step 3 Melt the chocolate in the microwave – be careful not to burn it! One at a time, remove a lolly from the mould and dip the top into the chocolate. Sprinkle chia seeds and chopped hazelnuts over top. Serve and enjoy before it melts.
