Ingredients:
- 250g of plain or fruit yogurt
- 100g of fresh fruit cut into very small pieces
- 50g sugar
- A cup of lemon juice
- A glass of skimmed milk
Procedure:

- Pour the cream into an ice lolly mold, making sure each tray fills halfway.
- Place the mold in the freezer for about an hour, just enough time for the ice cream to harden a little.
- Remove the mold from the freezer and fill the trays up to the edge, insert the stick and leave to freeze for about 2 hours.
With these doses you will get approximately 10 ice creams. Store your ice cream on a stick, yogurt and fruit for no more than a week in the freezer.
