1

RED LAYER: Open the red plastic freezer pop sleeve and pour the red liquid into a small prep bowl. Add 1-1/2 teaspoons to each Zoku™ mini pop mold. Place mold tray into freezer and freeze the red layer for 90 minutes, or until frozen solid.
2

WHITE LAYER: When red layer is frozen, combine the water and sweetened condensed milk in a small prep bowl to make the white layer. Put 1-1/2 teaspoons of white liquid over the frozen red layer in the molds. Freeze for 90 minutes or until frozen solid.
3

After white layer is frozen solid, remove tray from freezer. Using the tip of a very sharp knife, gently turn the knife tip into the center of each mold to bore a small hole THROUGH THE WHITE LAYER ONLY. (Note: Do not go through the red layer, or you may puncture the soft mold and ruin it!) The hole is to allow the pop handle to be placed flush in the molds after the blue layer is added.
4

BLUE LAYER: Open the blue plastic freezer pop sleeve and pour the blue liquid into a small prep bowl. Add 1-1/2 to 2 teaspoons of blue liquid over the frozen white layer, filling up to the fill line on each mold. Immediately place a handle over the top and gently press to secure. Freeze pops 2 hours or overnight.

Expert Tips

Press each mold from the bottom with one hand while gently pulling on the handle with the other hand. The molds will easily invert and release the pops.
Place mini pops upright in an ice-filled bowl or platter. Can also use glass vase pebbles to stand mini pops upright in a decorative container. Keep frozen until ready to serve.
