Frozen fest

Making your own frozen lollies is a summer-time childhood memory for many. And as the sizzling season approaches, Zoku introduces their QuickPop Maker, which makes icy Oros sticks look like child’s play.

The revolutionary treat maker freezes your sweet concoctions without electricity in seven to nine minutes. Quite magic really, watching lollies freeze before your eyes.

Store the compact base in your freezer and it’ll always be ready to make popsicles. Just like the moulds from the good old days, the six durable sticks and the compact can be reused over and over again. Sorry Mr Ice Cream Man, looks like home-made lollies might trump soft serve this season.

The Zoku Book with over 40 recipes ensures that even the most unadventurous QuickPop creator has a store cupboard of ideas. From fresh fruit pulp-cicles to decadent iced coffee or chocolate lollies, the possibilities are endless. Get the kids involved and create multicoloured or fruit-adorned pops with their favourite summer flavours.

Zoku is available from Boardmans, @home and Yuppiechef.co.za at a recommended retail price of R499.
