LAST CONSIDERATIONS:
- All these recipes have been extracted from Zoku. If you want more inspiration and want to get the most out of your Zoku ice cream makers and cups, I highly recommend Zoku's Quick Pops recipe book.
- 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 previously had ice cream makers in the freezer, and when making the ice cream you pour the mixture into them, wait 5 minutes and extract some delicious ice cream right away. On the contrary, you put the molds in the freezer once you put the mixture in them, and you have to wait a minimum of 12 hours to enjoy them.
