Method

Place a sheet of aluminium foil over the top to act as a lid, and insert a wooden ice-cream stick, making sure it stands completely upright. Then place the moulds in the freezer until the first layer has set.
Meanwhile, mix the cream with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 50 ml of apple juice. Take the mould out of the freezer, remove the cling film, add 2 tablespoons of this cream mixture and return to the freezer.
