You. Yea, You! It’s time to get out of your “the employees know me by name!” Pinkberry funk. Try these easy homemade summer treats out for a change.
Get wild with some fresh fruit & the ZOKU popsicle maker… which has a turnaround of about 7 minutes from liquid start to frozen finish. That’s less time than it would take for you to go to the store to get a push-pop! Just keep in the freezer for at least 24 hrs before your first big freeze, and let your about to go moldy fruit basket, imagination & taste buds do their thang. PERFECT to bring to a summer backyard BBQ to serve to guests, without the risk of melting disasters en route.
ZOKU Quick Pop Maker WIlliams & Sonoma $50
Or take a hint from the Jello Mold Mistress of Brooklyn, Victoria Belanger. After hearing this forensic photographer by day, Jello maven by weekend guru on NPR, I was smitten with her desire to mix my kiddie fav Jell-o, and my adult fave, alcohol. Try out her White Sangria mold to get erryone talking about your next party, for some adult fun, with a kiddie fun design.
White Sangria Jell-o Recipe
Via The Jello Mold Mistress of Brooklyn:
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 apple juice, boiling
2 envelopes of Knox unflavored gelatin
1 1/2 cups cold white wine
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 cup grapes, sliced in half
1 cup diced apples
In large bowl, sprinkle Knox over 1/2 cup water until gelatin absorbs water. Stir in boiling apple juice for at least 2 minutes until gelatin is dissolved. Stir in wine . Place in the fridge until gelatin thickens (to the consistency of raw eggs). Fold in strawberries, grapes, and apples. Spoon into mold and refrigerate until firm.
