LAST THINGS:
- All of these recipes have been pulled from Zoku. If you want more inspiration and feel like getting the most out of your Zoku ice cream makers and tumblers, I recommend Zoku's Quick Pops cookbook.
- All the recipes that are prepared with the ice cream makers can also be prepared in the Zoku ice cream molds. The difference between these two concepts is that you have had the refrigerators in the freezer previously, and when making the ice cream you add the mixture, wait 5 minutes and extract some delicious ice cream at the moment. On the contrary, you put the molds in the freezer once you introduce the mixture, and you have to wait a minimum of 12 hours to enjoy them.
