Looking to beat the heat with some sweet treats? In Viking’s August 2018 issue, Norwegian baker and food stylist Paul Lowe  (aka Sweet Paul) shows us how with his blackberry and raspberry striped ice pops. Check out the recipe below! Paul’s website is brimming with other cool desserts, such as summer energy pops, lemon sorbet and mint and cucumber ice pops. Last year, Paul created five summer sippers exclusively for Viking, and we’re exciting for another upcoming collaboration with him for the September issue.
