Fruity Neapolitan Lolly Loaf Recipe

Introduction

This Fruity Neapolitan lolly loaf is a refreshing and vibrant frozen treat perfect for warm days. Layers of luscious peach, creamy vanilla, and sweet berry mixtures come together to create beautiful, tasty slices that everyone will love.

Ingredients

• 200g peaches, nectarines, or apricots (or a mixture), stoned
• 200g strawberries or raspberries (or a mixture), hulled
• 450ml double cream
• ½ x 397g can condensed milk
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Step 1: Place the peaches, nectarines, or apricots in a food processor and pulse until chopped and juicy but still slightly textured. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat the process with the berries and put them in a separate bowl.
2. Step 2: In a third bowl, pour the double cream, condensed milk, and vanilla extract, then whip until soft peaks form. Divide the whipped mixture roughly into thirds.
3. Step 3: Stir a third of the whipped cream mixture into the peach fruit, and another third into the berry fruit until well combined. Add a drop of orange food colouring to the peach mixture and a drop of pink food colouring to the berry mixture for vibrant colors, if desired.
4. Step 4: Line a 900g loaf tin or terrine mould with cling film. Pour the berry mixture into the tin and freeze for 2 hours. Keep the remaining mixtures chilled in the refrigerator.
5. Step 5: Once the berry layer is firm, remove the tin from the freezer and pour the remaining vanilla mixture evenly over it. Insert lolly sticks spaced evenly along the length of the tin, pushing down gently so they stand upright. Freeze for another 2 hours.
6. Step 6: After the vanilla layer has set, pour the peach mixture over it, easing around the lolly sticks, then freeze for 4 hours or until completely solid.
7. Step 7: Remove the loaf from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving. Use the cling film to lift it from the tin, place on a board, and slice into individual lollies. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, try adding a splash of fresh lemon juice to the berry mixture before folding in the cream.
• Substitute condensed milk with coconut condensed milk for a dairy-free option.
• Use small popsicle sticks if classic lolly sticks are not available.
• To keep the colors bright, avoid over-blending the fruit; a bit of texture adds a fresh feel.

Storage

Store any leftover lolly loaf tightly wrapped or in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Thaw slightly at room temperature for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving again.

FAQs

Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?

Yes, but thaw frozen fruit first and drain any excess liquid to avoid a watery mixture.

What if I don’t have food colouring?

The colours will be more natural and muted without food colouring, but the layered effect and flavor will still be delicious.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Fruit Purees: Place the peaches, nectarines, or apricots into a food processor and pulse until chopped with some texture remaining. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat the process with the strawberries or raspberries in a separate bowl.
2. Make the Whipped Cream Mixture: In a third bowl, combine the double cream, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Whip until soft peaks form. Divide the mixture roughly into thirds, adding one third to the peach puree and another third to the berry puree. Mix thoroughly to combine each.
3. Add Colouring: If desired for vibrant layering, add a drop of orange food colouring to the peach mixture and a drop of pink food colouring to the berry mixture and mix well.
4. Assemble the Berry Layer: Line a 900g loaf tin or terrine mould (approximately 23 x 7 x 8cm) with cling film. Pour the berry mixture into the tin, smooth the top, and freeze for 2 hours while chilling the other mixtures in the fridge.
5. Add the Vanilla Layer and Insert Sticks: Once the berry layer is firm, remove the vanilla cream mixture from the fridge and pour it gently over the berry layer. Then, insert lolly sticks evenly spaced along the length of the tin, pressing gently so they stand upright. Return the tin to the freezer for another 2 hours.
6. Add the Peach Layer: When the vanilla layer is solid, pour the peach mixture over it carefully, easing it around the lolly sticks. Freeze for a further 4 hours or until completely frozen.
7. Serve the Lollies: Remove the loaf from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving. Use the cling film to lift the loaf from the tin and place it on a board for slicing. Slice into individual lollies and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

• You can use a mixture of different stone fruits and berries according to your preference or seasonality.
• Add food colouring for a brighter layered effect but it is optional.
• Use a long, thin loaf tin or terrine mould around 900g capacity for best shape.
• Allow the loaf to soften slightly before slicing to make cutting easier.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container or wrapped well in the freezer for up to two weeks.
• If you don’t have lolly sticks, wooden skewers cut to size may be used, but sticks are ideal.
