Avocado Tiramisu

CUCUMBER & CARROT POPS WITH AVOCADO DIP

These pops put the fun back in vegetables. I recommend serving with dips. Here I've included guacamole, but avocado-yogurt mash always goes down a treat, or you could try the avocado hummus recipe (see p.38).

INGREDIENTS

1 cucumber 2 long carrots, trimmed and peeled 1 portion of your kid’s favorite guacamole, avocado spread or avocado hummus on p.38 To serve (optional): cress

EQUIPMENT NEEDED

Popsicle sticks

METHOD

1 Cut the unpeeled cucumber in half horizontally rather than lengthwise. Slowly push a carrot into the center of each cucumber half, pushing out the seeds. Do this carefully to avoid breaking the cucumber and do it over a sink as it will be a little messy. 2 Once the carrots are inserted, cut the cucumber-carrot into 1.5cm slices. Following the picture, poke some popsicle sticks inteach pop and serve with your kids’ favorite guacamole, avocado spread (try avocado combined with yogurt) or the avocado hummus. If using, serve with cress and adults can sprinkle theirs with chilli flakes for a little extra kick.
