Making My First Recipe: The Quicksicle Adventure!

[mspibb]

Made my first recipe. I got a big bunch of strawberries yesterday mashed them with the mix and chop. I added honey and refrigerated overnight. The Quicksicle maker hadn’t been in the freezer 24 hours yet. Just made 2 rounds. I had to use the MFP, just mashing the strawberries didn’t work, they were too chunky. Trying to decide if I’m a big advocate! Seems like a lot of work! LOL!

So I would love to know how they turned out. Any pics?

I tried to upload pictures from my iPad but they won’t upload. I guess I should try from the laptop.

Oh, finally got it to work! I ate one of these tonight and I have to say I find the "stick" terrible, it is too big and rough! Wondering how kids can eat them!

My two year old loves the Popsicles and doesn't seem to have an issue as long as he has them in the cone to catch the drips since he's two he's a little slow eating them

Made a recipe for my own show last evening. Strawberries puréed in MFP, agave and some leftover sweet red wine. The mix was really cold ( I made a couple of batches ahead in a plastic popsicle mold in the freezer so mix was refrigerated overnight) Theyo froze in 8 minutes - I did set Quicksicle maker in my freezer- and came out perfectly!

Congratulations on making your first recipe! It sounds like you had quite the adventure with your Quicksicle maker. I'm glad you were able to figure out a solution with the mix and chop to make the strawberries less chunky. As with any new recipe, it may take some trial and error to get it just right. I'm sure with some practice and experimentation, you will become a pro at making Quicksciles. And remember, the end result is always worth the effort! Keep up the great work and happy cooking!
