Zoku Pops are amazing. We bought a maker last year after I unsuccessfully tried to recreate the infamous Nashville Las Palletas using a garden variety of Walmart/Target popsicle makers. I don't think I could survive another Columbia summer without a Zoku!
We've learned a few tips and tricks throughout our various adventures... (1) always use some element of real sugar, or it won't work... (2) don't try anything carbonated, or it won't work... (3) don't try to freeze coffee or anything else too watery, or it won't work... (4) always make the mixture a little sweeter/more flavorful than you want the final product to be!
We love melon Zoku pops, so Cantaloupe was an easy first choice for the season!
Honey Cantaloupe Zoku Pops (makes at least 6 pops)
3/4 small cantaloupe, cubed
1/4 c vanilla coffee creamer (not sugar free)
1.5 T honey
cinnamon
Blend ingredients in magic bullet or other small food processor (we love the bullet because we can make lots of different popsicle mixes and store them in the handy containers -- easy cleanup, too!). Follow instructions to freeze two batches of popsicles. Remember, the second batch will take slightly longer than the first.
Enjoy!
