They’re super easy and I love the addition of the vanilla, I’ve not tried that despite it now appearing obvious, and I’m all for adding vanilla to virtually anything :D

They sound great! Since my daughter is intolerant to milk (although fingers crossed seems to be getting more tolerant) I might give these a go with coconut milk…they won’t be as creamy but I am sure they will be just as delicious!

love this simple treat. We make our own ice cream but I really need to get my act together on the lollipop front. These would go down well with most kids I am sure -adult sized kids too!
