These were super quick to make. I made it quicker again by skipping putting the mixture in the freezer for 10 mins. Every 10 mins makes a difference for me!

I decided to pop them in patty cases instead, so I didn’t have to wait to roll etc. Saves a lot of time and mess. I popped them straight into the freezer.

One of my boys is home with me today and has taste tested them already and has given them the big thumbs up! I think they taste pretty good too!

Will you give it a go? Let me know what you think if you try them!
