Licking lollies is lovely but buying them sucks. Because apart from the expense, you have to wrestle with those confusing sliding doors on the chiller cabinet and delve into its icy depths, oblivious to your frozen treat’s age and provenance. So wouldn’t it be cool if you could make your own delicious ice lollies in a matter of minutes. You can with the Zoku Quick Lolly Maker.
Simply place this ingenious gizmo in the freezer for 24 hours and it’s ready to use wherever you fancy, no mains or batteries required. Just insert the pop sticks into the moulds, pour in your favourite drink and watch in wonder as the lollies form in around 7-9 minutes. Release them using the idiot-proof ‘super tool’ and get licking. Slurptastic!
Pop the Zoku unit in the freezer for 24 hours
Insert the pop sticks and add your juice/fruit mix
7-9 minutes later... you have lollies!

You can make nine lollies before you need to re-freeze the entire shebang so friends and family won’t miss out on the tongue-tingling fun. Talking of fun, deciding what kind of lollies to make is almost as entertaining as getting your laughing gear round ‘em. Use fizzy drinks, juice, squash or even milk. Kids will be in lolly heaven.
You can also experiment with striped lollies, create different flavoured centres and add sliced fruit or crushed nuts. Icely does it? The possibilities are endless! With summer constantly threatening to arrive, there’s never been a better time to grab a Zoku Quick Lolly Maker. But then who needs hot weather when lolly making is this much fun? Over to you, sucker!

How to make Strawberry Lemonade Quick Pops™
Serves 6
Ingredients
1 cup lemonade
4 oz hulled strawberries
Directions
1. Add lemonade and strawberries to a blender and puree until smooth. Strain through a mesh sieve into a measuring cup, using a spoon to push it through faster. If the mixture is foamy, let it sit for 20 minutes to settle down. Then give it a gentle stir before assembling pops.
2. Remove The Zoku Ice Lolly™ Maker from your freezer, insert sticks and pour the strawberry lemonade blend into molds until you reach the fill line. Let freeze completely, then remove the pops with the Super Tool and enjoy! Repeat with remaining 3 pops.
I bought this product, but did not try it yet and I have a question as an example of this recipe is it true? (Strawberry, Strawberry Jelly, Strawberry Yogurt, Sugar) Can I use yogurt and jelly? Szeyara, - 3rd May 2012
Firebox says: Hey Zeyara, we can't see any reason why you couldn't use yogurt and jelly, if it's in a recipe then it must work. We wouldn't want to guess what it tastes like though, we will leave that one down to you.
It does what it says, quite fun initially. However, it is still rather overpriced when you can buy ice lolly moulds for fraction of the price.
Also, the mould is quite big and heavy and needs to be kept upright in the fridge taking up space. Katie, Cambridge - 25th April 2011
We were very disappointed. Only managed to get one lolly out, the other just wouldn't budge. We tried again and were no more successful. We followed the instructions exactly. Sue Colton, Cheshire - 15th February 2011
Can you make frozen yogurt/smoothie lollies? Nay, Plymouth - 7th February 2011
Firebox says: Sugar free beverages will not work, but if they are sugar based they might- not tried and tested yet, anyone else given it a go?
I want one but why cant you but alcohol in them? Jack, Newcastle - 19th November 2010
Firebox says: Alcohol's freezing point is too low! That's why vodka doesn't go solid when you keep it in the freezer. It just won't freeze.
I bought this thinking it would be fantastic and it is but a little disappointed I'm afraid, especially with all the different lollies on the box it says you can do, they are quite small lollies, and you need to have a bit of room in your freezer to use this, my kids loved it but as our house is quite warm it did take a while for the lollies to set, apart from that it is a good buy. thanks firebox x Sam, Isle Of Man - 16th August 2010
