About the recipe

These refreshing summer ice blocks are made with tropical fruit, creamy yoghurt, and a hint of ginger—perfect for little ones and big kids alike.

These tropical Summer Fruity Ice Blocks are sunshine on a stick—bright, tangy, and full of gut-loving goodness. Made with a blend of mango, papaya, passionfruit and yoghurt, they’re naturally sweet, loaded with nutrients, and perfect for hot days (or teething relief!).

They’re easy to adapt with whatever fruit you have on hand, and the touch of ginger adds a subtle warmth that pairs beautifully with the tropical flavours. A dash of bee pollen, honey or maple syrup gives them just enough sweetness—just be sure to omit for little ones under 12 months.

Age suitability:

Suitable from around 8 months+ once dairy and ingredients have been tolerated.
Omit honey and bee pollen for babies under 12 months.

Serving suggestions:

Offer straight from the mould, or for younger children we would recommend popping into a silicone feeder like this one.

Storage tips:

Store frozen for up to 3 months.
