Juice from canned fruit
Chocolate or other flavored milk
Yoghurt drink

Making you Ice Lollies:

Place the fromage frais pots in a small tray that will fit in your freezer.
Fill each pot with your chosen liquid filling. Don't fill right to the top as the liquid will expand when it freezes. Leave a 3-5 mm gap.
Place in the freezer for a few hours or until the mix has started to turn slushy.
Remove from the freezer and place a lolly stick in the center of each pot. Return them to the freezer. If the stick falls over then remove it and allow the ice lolly to freeze a bit more.
Allow the ice pops to fully freeze. This usually takes 6 hours or overnight.
When you want to eat them, just take the ice lollies out the freezer, wait a minute or two and slide the ice lolly out of the pot

Multi-colored Ice Lolly

To make a multi-colored ice lolly, or Rainbow Lolly as we call them, when you fill the pot with your chosen filling, only half fill it. Pop it in the freezer to set for at least 3 hours. Then remove it and follow on as from step 2. above.
