Method

  1. For the red layer, remove the melon seeds. Puree the flesh with 30g of the sugar in a blender. Pour into the ice lolly moulds so they are all 1/3 full. Freeze for 1 ½ hours.
  2. For the yellow layer, blend the peaches with 30g of the sugar. Pour onto the frozen red puree so the moulds are now 2/3 full. Freeze again until solid.
  3. For the green, blend the kiwi fruit with the water and 30g sugar. Sieve the puree to remove the seeds. Fill the lolly moulds. Add the sticks and freeze.
