And the Winner is…

Me! I was the winner! I seldom to never win anything, guess I’m more lucky in love (not complaining!), but this time I did win something. I won a new kitchen gadget with my copycat version of Häagen-Dazs cookies & cream.
It’s a Zoku Quick Pop Maker. Doesn’t it look sexy?
I had no idea something like this even existed. I should have known because my son is an ice pop junkie if ever there was one.
This little device makes ice pops in only 7 minutes, I kid you not. I pour the ingredients in there right before dinner time and by the time we’re done we have home-made ice pops.
I’ve gone crazy ever since I received the package. I’ve tried anything from the basic fresh OJ, banana and lime popsicle to a more extravagant pumpkin spice latte pop, a pureed mango, OJ and chili pepper pop (I love that combo) and the mimosa pop with champagne, strawberry puree and OJ. It was heavenly.
Next on my list is the Mojito pop! That should be interesting… and intoxicating.
I’m not a very skilled ice cream maker, though, but I’m having a small hope that some of you are… so here’s my question:
“If I’d want to make something like a New York cheesecake pop, what would be a sensible way to go about things? Can it be done?”
Note:
This is no paid advertisement. I’m just completely over the moon about my new gadget.

Congratulations! It does look sexy, haha
awesome!! yah for winning! i have one of these guys and we like it, when I remember to use it. I had it in my freezer forever but than it got a little crowded.
@Courtney:
I had no idea it even existed! Not sure who was more excited about it, Jayden or me :)
Look how pretty the popsicles are! Love it and congrats for being the winner!
I just got one of these for mother’s day. They really are fun. As far as the cheesecake pop….I have a recipe for a Marble cheesecake pop (cheesecake and chocolate cheesecake flavors) from the quick pop recipe book. If you would like I can e-mail that recipe to you. I just wasn’t sure if that is what you were looking for exactly. Let me know, I’d be more than happy to send it.–Susan
@Susan:
If you wouldn’t mind, I’d love to have it! Cheesecake pop is all I’ve been thinking about ever since I got it :)
That looks so fun! I might have to get one.
Just saw the Zoku today in the Williams-Sonoma catalog with really cute pops! My kids want one now. The W-S website has some recipes and a video for a s’mores pop (yum!). Sorry, didn’t see a cheesecake recipe there, but hope you will post yours (or @Susan’s)….that sounds delish!
Oops! That W-S video showed a s’mores pop but did not show the recipe. Wah!
yes it can be done. In Nigella’s forever summer there is a recipe for cheesecake ice cream. She uses Philadelphia ans digestive biscuits. It super but I usually make it with an icecreammaker.
Only 7 mutes? wow how does it work?
yummy.. whatever you do is simply amazin. i wish i could see you personaly someday :) BIG fan of cheesecake, badly waitin for it..
I saw it at the Bijenkorf a couple of weeks ago, and really wanted it! Was a bit shocked by the price though, to be honest… Now, why didn’t I save my Bijenkorf Christmas gift certificate a little longer?? This baby is definitely going on my wishlist ;) Can’t wait to see your creations!
Jaloers, lijkt me zo’n fijn product!
Ik heb een boekje met alleen maar ijslolly-recepten (het heet ijslolly’s,van Crystina Castella) daar staat een recept van een cheesecake-ijslolly in, ik weet niet of ik dat zo op internet mag zetten, maar het komt neer op een simpel roomkaas mengsel (roomkaas met zure room en wat suiker) met daar boven op een kruimelbodemmengsel (eigenlijk gewoon kruimels met boter) en onder in de de vorm een bosbessensaus/jam- achtig iets.
Van yoghurt kun je trouwens ook goeie ijsjes maken
Congrats on your win!
The pops look great. Jayden must be really happy ;)
Ow!!!! Geweldig!!! Dat Zoku ding wil ik ook!
