Being a NYC resident, I have a few seasonal challenges I have to overcome every year. One of them being the summer subway commute! Long walks to the station, waiting on the platform, and stuffing myself in the train, all of these are unbearable in the summer. BUT there are some things that help me get over these challenges.

We know these past few weeks have been difficult for everyone. We have experienced a tremendous impact in our daily lives and many of us have ended up with some unexpected free time. One way we will be spending time is by catching up on our favorite movies and shows. We wanted to share a few creative frozen recipe ideas that pair with Team Zoku’s favorite movies and shows. 

This Valentine’s Day try recreating one of these Zoku crafts to make that special someone feel all warm & fuzzy inside. 

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter with salt 
3/4 cup granulated sugar 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS
Whisk together the peanut butter, sugar and vanilla extract. Add the milk and cream in small increments at first, whisking with each addition, until the peanut butter loosens up. Whisk in the remaining liquid and cover. Chill ice cream mixture and stir well before using.
