Sweet summer recipes for baby

Summer is here and you want to spend as little time in the kitchen as possible and more time outside enjoying the lovely weather?! We completely understand! For all the super parents, super aunties and super humans who follow us, here are some sweet summer recipes for baby.

Because eating well is a family affair, we all get behind the hob — baby included!

Fruity ice lollies for baby (from 10 months)

Ingredients (makes 8 lollies):

• Fruit of your choice (strawberries, bananas, peaches…)
• 4 petits-suisses
• Maple syrup (optional)

Equipment:

• A blender
• Small ice lolly moulds

Method:

1. First, wash and chop the fruit;
2. Blend them, adding a teaspoon of maple syrup;
3. Mix the fruit coulis in a bowl with the petits-suisses;
4. Pour the mixture into your previously washed lolly moulds;
5. Place in the freezer for a minimum of 6 hours;
6. Enjoy!

Tip: for older children, you can also leave a few small pieces of fruit in the lollies. It's fun and, above all, absolutely delicious!

Also, if you don't have any specific moulds to hand, think about using small yoghurt pots! They work perfectly. Simply pop a wooden lolly stick inside — or a small spoon if need be — and you're done!

Indulgent apple and melon compote (from 6 months)

Ingredients:

• Half a melon
• 2 apples

Method:

1. First, peel, chop and wash the fruit;
2. Steam for 20 minutes;
3. Check that the fruit is nice and soft, then blend;
4. It's ready!

Good to know: for older children, you can add a lovely pinch of cinnamon to bring out the flavour of the apple!
