Method

  1. Pull the green hulls out of the strawberries. If they are still quite hard, cut them in half or quarters with a table knife. Tip them into a flat-bottomed dish.
  2. Use a potato masher to squash the strawberries as much as you can. Tip into a bowl. Ask your grown-up helper to give you a hand if you need to.
  3. Add the mascarpone and mash this in - don't worry if it is a bit lumpy. Add the condensed milk and mix everything together. Don't worry if the mix is streaky.
  4. Spoon the mixture into a metal or plastic box and put it in the freezer. Wait until the next day or at least 6 hours before scooping into bowls or cones. Decorate how you like.

Top tip for parents

The riper the strawberries are the more easily they will mash and this makes a really good way to use up older strawberries. If your child is not able to cut with a knife, then roughly chop the strawberries for them. You can also use raspberries, ripe bananas, peeled peaches or nectarines for this recipe.

    We really liked this - so easy to make, delicious to eat, and full of fruit so you feel you're being good! I added a couple of bananas with the strawberries and used a hand whisk to make the consistency a bit more even with no effort on my part!

    I thought this looked absolutely delicious, so decided to give it a go. I popped it in the freezer and was also slightly concerned that it looked a little watery, but it actually tasted good pre-frozen. I was really disappointed when it turned into a big block of ice! After sitting for one hour defrosting I still couldn't get a spoon into it.

    Finally I've been hunting everywhere for a mascarpone recipe, since I lost my other one.. I've made versions with bananas, strawberries, mango and blueberries before.. The kids love it and it's so creamy and easy to make. This looks very similar, I just couldn't remember what the other ingredient was... Now I better go get some condensed milk to make it up!! :)
