Festive cheer is warm and inviting but I’m bringing you festive cheer in frozen form today as I’m making ice cream! ZOKU is an American company who now sell in 30 countries worldwide. Their first hit product was the Quick Pop Maker and the company grew from there. I’m using the ZOKU Ice Cream Maker to create ice cream for Christmas, so here’s how I made Peppermint Cocoa Ice Cream!
Ingredients:

The next day…
If you want a firmer end result, place the bowl back into the freezer for another 30 minutes to set.
Here is my finished soft scoop…
This is when I let the mixture set for longer in the freezer…
The USP of ZOKU products is that you can make frozen desserts in minutes (once all the stuff is prepared!) It is fun to do with the kids to show them the transformation before their eyes, although I’d have to say I found it easier to prepare the mixture then pour it into a plastic tub to set in the freezer before eating, but maybe I’m just being lazy! I loved the recipes in the ZOKU Endless Summer book and would use these fab recipes again, there are 54 different ideas in the book for all kinds of frozen desserts so you’d never get bored.
My kids and I enjoyed the peppermint cocoa ice cream which is a perfect festive treat for Christmas!
“Thank you to ZOKU for sending us the Ice Cream Maker to try out.”
My father-in-law has a huge ice cream maker which has put my off buying one. This looks a far better size and I love soft ice cream!
I have always wanted to make my own ice cream. Love the look of this bowl :0)
I would love to try making my own ice cream – this sounds like a simpler way to do it as well. Might have to treat myself. x
Oh this sounds ace, we have the Zoku and love it. Now I need to make festive spice ice cream!
I always thought that ice cream sounded like such a faff to make, or that you needed a big ice cream maker to do it. This ZOKU maker sounds simple to use, easy to store away afterwards and makes ice cream without any fuss – more or less perfect!
What a great gadget – my family would love one of these!
