If you’re looking for a brand new treat this summer, head over to the York Maze.

They have dreamed up a brand new dessert – which also contributes to your five a day.

The popular attraction has launched a range of frozen corn lollies.

York Maze owner, farmer Tom Pearcy, said: “I planted a crop of super sweet corn last year which has been harvested and frozen ready to create our new range of frozen lollies.

“Our visitors love eating corn on the cob from our barbecue but we wanted to offer something sweet as well.

“Inspired by a popular sweet desert from the Philippines ‘Mais con heilo’, literally translated as corn with ice, we hit on the idea of a frozen corn on the cob lolly.

“It is the healthy alternative to frozen lollies, and the only one to count as one of your five a day fruit and veg!”

There are two varieties; the Cobbly Bobbly with chocolate sauce and sprinkles, and the CORNetto ’99 which includes a topping of popcorn and a flake.

Thousands of visitors flock to the York Maze every year. Alongside the 15-acre corn maze – one of the biggest in the world – there are 20 other attractions including Corn on the Cob crazy golf and the inflatable Cobstacle Course.

According to Tom, visitors will be able to try the new corn ice lollies when York Maze opens for the summer on 16 July.
