Author: Claudia Lamascolo
A delicious frozen treat made with instant pudding into a creamy ice cream-style pudding pop treat!
Ingredients
- 2 small boxes of instant pudding of any brand or flavor
- 3 1/2 cups of whole milk, half and half, or for a richer pop add 1/2 cup of heavy cream to substitute the milk
- refer to the notes for mix-ins and flavor suggestions
Instructions
- Place the two boxes of dry instant pudding mix in a bowl with the milk.
- Beat this until it thickens.
- Spoon into disposable small cups or use any popsicle mold ( I find the 4-ounce cups to be much easier to remove after being frozen.
- Place a stick inside each cup and freeze until solid around 3 hours.
- Tip: if they are hard to remove from the cups, sit them in an inch of hot water for easy quick removal.
