If you're looking for an easy summer dessert that will appeal to children and big kids alike, these three ingredient popsicles are just the ticket. Crushed Mint Oreo cookies are folded into coconut milk with a dash of vanilla before being frozen til firm. Coconut milk stays nice and creamy when frozen, making it a tasty and healthy alternative to dairy and a whole Oreo cookie hidden in the centre of each popsicle makes for a fun – and delicious – surprise as you take a bite.

The Mint Oreo flavour makes for wonderfully cool and refreshing popsicles, but this recipe can also be made with the new Strawberry Cheesecake Oreos. If making the latter, try folding in a handful of fresh strawberries for an even more luxurious alternative.

If you don't have popsicle moulds, try freezing the mixture in little plastic glasses.

A serving of this recipes should be seen as a treat – best enjoyed occasionally as part of a balanced diet.

This post is has been created in partnership with Great British Chefs and Oreo to mark the launch of two exciting new flavours: Strawberry Cheesecake and Mint. The delicious new flavours are available in all major supermarkets at an RRP of £1.08. To find out more visit www.oreo.co.uk.
