Typical nutritional content (per portion)
1 small pineapple or 400g (14oz) tin pineapple chunks in natural juice
2 passion fruit
250ml (9fl oz) low fat natural yoghurt
4 teaspoons shop-bought lime juice or juice of 1 fresh lime
If using fresh pineapple, cut off the skin and cut the flesh into chunks, discarding the core. Place the pineapple in a food processor. Then cut the passion fruit in half and scoop out all of the flesh into the food processor. Add the yogurt and lime juice and blend until smooth, then strain through a sieve into a large jug to remove the passion fruit seeds. Pour into the lolly moulds and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight is best.
To remove the lollies from the moulds, dip them briefly into hot water to loosen.
