Pretty Pink Pops

Don’t you just want to lick these pink pops? They’re not only pretty, but they’re yummy too!




It’s really easy to make your own ice pops. I’ve mentioned previously how I’ve been experimenting different pop flavors since I got my Zoku Quick Pop Maker. You don’t really need this particular pop maker, however I’d be lying if I told you other pop makers are better. I really think it’s an awesome kitchen toy.

By the way, what do you think about my alliteration?

I digress.

Anyway, to make your own ice pops, pick whatever fruit you like. Mix it with light syrup, blend them all together, pour and freeze. However, I love quick and easy stuff (which is why I love the Zoku Quick Pop Maker), so I just buy those cans of frozen juice concentrate. If you want creamy pops (pictured here), mix together 1 1/2 cup reduced fat milk and 2 tablespoons heavy cream with a 12 fl oz juice concentrate. You can also make those multiple layered pops. They require patience, though. (Something I’m working on, haha!) What you do is you partially fill your pop mold and wait for that portion to freeze before you pour your next flavor. Repeat this process until you fill your mold. You can also try tilting your pop maker to make those fun angles. Awesome, right?

So tell me, what’s your favorite pop flavor?
