Bright Idea | Zoku Quick Pops

Gourmet frosty treats can now be made in a snap or at least in seven minutes flat. Zoku Quick Pop Maker, ($49.95, exclusive to Williams Sonoma) the latest invention in popsicle making, features three non-stick aluminum molds in a base sealed with a propriety solution that ensures rapid and uniform freezing.

All you have to do is chill the base for a minimum of 24 hours, insert the reusable sticks and pour in your choice of chilled fruit juice, yogurt or milk. For extra points, layer the flavors, add pieces of sliced fruit or even shredded coconut or chocolate. Check out the Ice Pops book for more lip smacking recipes.

Frozen pops make a fun interactive project for the kiddos or can be served after dinner as a playful dessert for the kid at heart.
