For Christmas last year, I received the Zoku Quick Pop Maker. It's a fun little gadget. The thing I love about the Zoku is that you have pops in like 7-15 minutes, not hours. It comes with reusable sticks and drip catchers. I love that I can make any flavor I want.
For these Tahitian Noni Juice pops, I simply poured in about 1/4-1/3 cup of Tahitian Noni Juice and then let them freeze for about 13 minutes!
There are a few rules though that you have to play by when it comes to the Zoku. I don't really like these rules but hey, what can you do?
Rule 1: The magic base unit must be pre-chilled for 24 hours before use.
Rule 2: No artificial sweeteners or soda can be used.
Rule 3: Most recipes must have a decent amount of sugar content.
I was looking forward to making sugar-free popsicles...but I guess as long as I use honey, agave and other natural sugars I will be fine.
Even with these rules, making these pops is so much fun! It made me feel like a kid again. I am hoping to come up with some cool recipes. My little popsicle gift came with these fabulous Flex-It Silicone Measuring Cups, which I can't live without now and the cookbook, POPS! Icy Treats for Everyone. The cookbook is so cool {no pun intended} and incredibly creative. I've made a recipe or two already but beware not all recipes will freeze in the Zoku.

Cool gadget. I'm been wanting to get popsicle makers.
I made popsicles over the weekend too. Love your maker, I might have to get one of those:)
My mom bought me this a few months ago and I've been waiting to try it. She also gave me the Pops book, which has so many good recipes. Can't wait to experiment with it!
