Want to try a Vegemite icy pole? Here's the recipe

This time the stuff that was once simply a breakfast staple across the nation is being frozen.

Yes, icy poles.

The thought of brown frozen treats hasn’t exactly thrilled everyone but Vegemite, with a twist, is causing waves in cyberspace again.

Only a couple of months ago, Vegemite shouted about its “premium recipe”.

Vegemite Blend 17 was available for a limited time. It had a premium price attached at almost double the original recipe.

Maybe summer’s icy DIY option is a return to their roots?

But, if you’re a Vegemite lover – give it a go! 

Prep time: 15 min - Total time: 6 min Makes: 8 servings

2/3 cup caster sugar

½ cup cocoa

¼ cup honey

2 tablespoon Vegemite

3 teaspoons cornflour

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup milk

1 cup thickened cream, whipped

Combine in a saucepan the sugar, cocoa, honey, Vegemite, corn flour and milk.

Whisk over a medium heat until the mixture is smooth, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer gently until slightly thickened and custard-like.

Remove from the heat, pour into a heat proof bowl and chill.

Fold the whipped cream through the chilled custard mixture then pour into popsicle moulds.

Freeze until firm.
