🍓Ice Berger Sambos - The BEST Healthy Treat EVE

🍓Ice Berger Sambos - The BEST Healthy Treat EVER for babies and toddlers. Over the past few weeks I have been shooting some brilliant (if I do say so myself) new content for @dunnesstores all to help your babies wean. This is my absolute favourite recipe and I guarantee the entire family is going to love them! Using Irish Strawberries from Dunnes Stores mixed with their creamy mascarpone cheese then sandwiched between a simple chocolate cake wafer. What’s not to love!

👶🏻 For babies just cut into smaller squares to serve.

Nice Cream
340g Frozen Strawberries
4-6 tbsp milk of your choice (I used the new @dunnesstores Oat Milk)
200g fresh strawberries
250g Marscarpone Cheese

Chocolate Sandwich
3 eggs
3 tbsp maple syrup
100g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
4 tbsp cocoa powder
4 tbsp melted butter

Add frozen strawberries and the milk into a food processor and blend until it turns smooth. Then roughly chop the fresh strawberries and fold into the mixture along with the Marscarpone cheese.

Empty into a baking tin lined with parchment paper, then freeze for 4 hours until the ice cream is solid. When ready to use, remove from the freezer 20 minutes before slicing or scooping.
To make the chocolate sandwich, preheat oven to 180oC.

Add the eggs, and maple syrup to a large mixing bowl, then beat until the mixture has quadrupled in size.

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder to a bowl and stir well. Then fold into the egg mixture until fully combined. Then add the melted butter and again stir until smooth.

Pour onto a flat baking tray lined with parchment paper, add bake for 15-20 minutes until a skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool fully before slicing.

Cut each piece in half and place both sides of a slice of ice cream to serve.

ZERO ADDED SUGAR SUMMER BERRY POPS FOR BABIES & TO

ZERO ADDED SUGAR SUMMER BERRY POPS FOR BABIES & TODDLERS 👶🏻. You will probably find with the heat that your baby doesn’t seem interested in food. Or the heat and teething can make your baby disinterested in food too.

These pops are the answer!

Made using yogurt and milk for protein, berries for minerals and vitamins and with zero added sugar, they are the perfect summer food for kids!

You can use fresh berries or try the new frozen ones from @dunnesstores which are delicious! We love the mixed summer berries which have red currants in there. My absolute favourite berry! I will admit that I open the bag and pick them all out to eat before the kids get them 😂😂😂

These pops can be made in less than 5 minutes and you get 12 from the recipe! If you don’t have an ice pop mould use paper cups with an ice lolly stick too so no excuses 😁😁😁😁😁

Happy weekend!

Aileen 🥰🥰🥰

200g fresh strawberries
125g fresh raspberries
100g frozen summer berries
Juice 1/2 lemon
1tsp vanilla extract
250ml (1 cup) whole milk
125ml (1/2 cup) Greek yogurt
1 banana

Hull the strawberries, then add to a pan along with the raspberries and frozen summer berries. Squeeze in the juice of the lemon and add the vanilla.

Heat gently making sure not to boil. This is to ensure all the vitamins are kept to the maximum! Once the frozen fruit has softened remove from the heat, then take a fork and gently mash the fruit until it is broken down a little enough to still see pieces of the various berries. Remove from the heat and leave aside to cool.

Add the milk, yogurt and banana to a blender and blend until smooth.

Pour a little of the milk mixture into an ice pop mould filling 1/3 of the way up, add a tablespoon of the fruit mixture, then finish with the milk mixture.

Freeze for at least 4 hours until fully set.

⛔️ BE WARNED....BABY-LED WEANING WILL MAKE YOU

⛔️ BE WARNED....BABY-LED WEANING WILL MAKE YOUR CHILD SUPER, DOOPER INDEPENDENT! 😭😭😭⁠
⁠
It's a good thing, but it's also bittersweet too! At the age of 2, this little dude wouldn't even let me put butter on a cracker for him. 'NO Momma, I DO IT I SELF!'. ⁠
⁠
What have you noticed that you both ❤️ and 😭 at the same time? I know I encouraged this but still! Stop growing up so fast!!!⁠ ⁠

PLANT-BASED SWEET POTATO CHOCOLATE MUFFINS 🌱🍠🍫🧁🎂🎈(Better than a smash cake)⁠
⁠
Over the past few years, I have been making muffins or doughnuts instead of the traditional birthday cake. Don't get me wrong, birthday cakes are amazing, but as a smash cake, these little cuties are the BEST! ⁠
⁠
Make a batch. Stack on a plate, then let your baby smash one...or perhaps two. This leaves the rest for everyone else to enjoy and zero waste 🥳⁠
⁠
This recipe is made using sweet potato (my favourite ingredient EVER!). However, don't let them fool you! They taste deliciously chocolatey and are perfect for the entire family (but especially Mommas with a cuppa coffee) 😘 ⁠
⁠
The recipe for the muffins is linked in my bio 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼and the frosting is made using;⁠
⁠
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter⁠
2 tablespoons cocoa⁠
1 tablespoon maple syrup⁠
3 tablespoons plant based milk⁠
⁠
Love ya! ⁠
⁠
Aileen xoxo 🎉🥳😘
