BYNothing says kids and summer time like something frozen on a stick! Making home made popsicles totally makes me feel like a child again. I realize that if your kids are like mine and eat 27 popsicles a day that the most economical thing to do is head to Costco and buy a box of otter pops, but take a break every once and a while and have some fun creating your own flavor combos in homemade popsicles. There’s something magical about it! Kids love helping out and these recipes are so quick and easy that you won’t mind extra “helpers.”
You can pick up all kinds of shapes and sizes of molds just about anywhere these days. The ones in this picture are from Target and Walmart. They’re only a couple of bucks too. Totally worth the tiny investment! You can use the plastic sticks they come with, or just buy a bag of popsicle sticks and then you can make multiple batches.
I started thinking about pudding pops about a month ago and I couldn’t stop dreaming about different flavor combos that sounded good. I kept a list on my fridge and kept adding to it thinking I’d just try out as many as I could and then post the best one. Problem: they were ALL good! So since my family has had pudding pops coming out of their ears for the last month, you all will as well. I’m going to share all of them with ya! First of all, read this:
Notes on dairy:
I tested a lot of different dairy combos from non-fat milk to low-fat to whole milk to heavy cream. You can choose what you put into these. Just know that the higher the fat percentage the creamier the end product. Don’t go up to full cream though, that doesn’t work so well. My most favorite result was half and half so that’s what I wrote in most of the actual recipes. You can absolutely substitute low-fat milk (or even soy milk if you’ve got allergy issues), it just makes the pops a little icier whereas the half and half obviously makes them richer and more creamy. Also, I used the sugar free puddings, and Jello brand definitely tastes the best.
Are you ready for this?? Here we go! (The first one is totally my favorite)
Mint-Chocolate Cookie Pudding Pops
1 small box instant chocolate pudding
1 3/4 C half and half
10 Oreo cookies, crushed (about 1 heaping cup)
1/4 t peppermint extract
Blend pudding mix, extract, and half and half in a blender until smooth. Stir in crushed cookies by hand. Place in molds and freeze.
* I loved Aubri’s idea in the comments- try banana pudding with crushed nutter butters. Yum!!
Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake Pudding Pops
1 small box cheesecake instant pudding
1 3/4 C half and half
1 C blueberries
1 t lemon zest (or more if you like your lemon!)
In a blender mix cheesecake pudding mix and half and half until smooth. Add in lemon zest and blueberries and pulse a couple of times to break up the blueberries. Place in molds and freeze.
Cherry Almond Fudge Pudding Pops
1 small box instant Chocolate Fudge Pudding
1 3/4 C half and half
about 20 cherries ( 1 1/4 C) pitted and halved
1/4 t almond extract
1/3 C mini-chocolate chips
Blend pudding mix, half and half, and almond extract in blender until smooth. Add in cherries and pulse 2-3 times. Stir in chocolate chips by hand. Place in molds and freeze.
Piña Colada Pudding Pops
1 small box instant coconut pudding
1 13.5oz can coconut milk
1 8oz can crushed pineapple
1/3 C shredded coconut
1 T fresh lime juice
optional: coconut extract*
Blend coconut milk, lime juice, and pudding mix in a blender until smooth. Add crushed pineapple and shredded coconut and pulse a couple of times to incorporate. Add extract if desired. Place in molds and freeze. * the coconut flavor was more mild than I expected. If you want a boost, add a little coconut extract.
These might be my 2nd favorite!
PB Banana Pudding Pops
1 small box instant vanilla pudding
1 3/4 C milk
1 ripe banana*
1/4 C Peanut Butter
Blend all ingredients until smooth. Place in popsicle molds and freeze. *Bananas that aren’t quite ripe yet tend to taste especially bitter when frozen, so make sure you use a sweet, ripe, banana.
Strawberries and Cream Pudding Pops
1 small box instant vanilla pudding
1 C milk
6oz vanilla yogurt (strawberry is great too)
12 medium strawberries (about 1 3/4-2 C roughly chopped)
2-3 T sugar
remove stems from berries and pulse with 2 T sugar in a food processor until completely smooth. Taste and add more sugar if needed. You should have just over a cup of puree. Set aside.
In a blender combine pudding, yogurt, and milk and blend until combined. Layer or swirl the pudding mixture with the strawberry mixture in popsicle molds and freeze until solid.

Okay, you are amazing! I love these wonderful flavor combinations. They are much better than the kool-aid pops I remember making as a kid. Thanks Sara!
Yum!! Those look amazing!!!
yum, yum , yum..summer just got a whole lot better!!
I absolutely love these ideas. I'll have to give these a try.
mnhub-junk at yahoo dot com
Wow, you came up with some creative flavors! The mint cookie looks so good, but you definitely have to make the strawberries and cream again so we can try that too! Yum!
Wow. They all look delicious! I have no idea which one we're going to try first! Yum!
If my kids see this, I'm in trouble!!! LOL!!! Hopefully we can get around to these recipes this summer! At 106 degrees out there…we need some relief! These look delicious!
so many fun flavors! I have got to go out and buy some popsicle molds now!
these look SO yummy!!!
Those look soo good. I had no idea you could do so much with homemade popsicles. Thank you!
Oh I love these and they don't make the vanilla pudding pops anymore (at least where I live)…will definitely try these. Love all the variations!
Ms. Sara, these are too cute! My kiddos are going to think these are the best. I can't wait to try them (especially the mint chocolate one…YUM) Thanks for doing all the creative work and passing it to us!
yum.. those mint cookie pops look great!
Yum! I'm excited to try them with soymilk so Captain Allergies can have them.
Can't wait to try these, they look so yummy!
I can't wait to try the pina colada pops!
Sar, first, you're amazing. Second, I'm going to be sitting around twiddling my thumbs WAITING for that last one. I know my kids will love that one! 🙂 I'm excited to try it.
You are genius! My girls have been wanting to try something like this for a while, I have a feeling these are going to go over well in the Texas heat.
These look so good! Heck with sharing these with my kids… I want them all for me. I'm so excited to make them. (Plus, you do such a good job photographing them – that's an art in and of itself.)
Those look so good. I can't decide which flavor to try first. Those flavors are so creative!
They are beautiful. I wonder if you could do it with homemade pudding?
Jello pudding pops were my favorite popsicles as a kid. I was so sad when they started making them. I found a new version of them at my local Walmart but they just aren't the same. Anyhow, I'm excited to try and make my own.
those look so good
Can't wait to try these.
Awesome idea. Easy peasy lemon squeezie. I'm going to try it. Thanks!
We just made boring chocolate pudding pops the other day and my boy inhaled his! I wonder what would happen with one of these- thanks for sharing such yummiliciousness!
those look great, my kids will love them!
Okay these look delish!! Thanks for sharing. If only it were warm enough to have a popsicle here in Nebraska. Mild Summer–booo!
This is definitely going to put a good dent in the #10 can of chocolate pudding we've been working on for months. Thanks!
Wow…these look so yummy! I just made some pudding pops like the mint cookie ones, except with banana pudding and crushed nutter-butters. You should try those…mmmmmm. Thanks for the new ideas!
Yum! These look so easy and delicious.
I thought I was being creative a few weeks ago when I made them with a box of chocolate pudding and another of vanilla pudding. These are delicious.
Holy cow! Those put anything out a box to shame!!
I am ALL over the pina colada pops!
I just bought those molds from target! So far I've just filled them with smoothie mix and plain juice. These look like great treats!
yummie!
Am I the only one having flashbacks to the 80's jello pudding commercials with Bill Cosby?!
Yum-o! Can't wait to try this with my kiddos!
I'm impressed with your creative flavors. When I think 'pudding pops,' I totally see Bill Cosby in my mind. =) Thanks for bringing back a bit of my childhood nostalgia.
Yum! There is a local popsicle store here called LocoPops that make gourmet popsicles like these. Now I don't have to empty my wallet there–I can make my own at home. Thank you!!!
Those look so good and fun!
I am going to walmart to get some molds. Cant wait! these look amazing!
My son will be in heaven!
It's amazing to think that we've never thought to do something so delicious with those popsicle molds. Gone are the days of plain juice! These are beautiful. And yummy. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! What more can I say! WOW!
YUM! my kids… and I will LOVe these! I have only tried freesing boring old pudding, never adding anything else! This is so much better!! THANKS!
Gosh where to begin? Maybe I'll just start at the top and work my way through all the flavors…Yum!
OMG I really want the Mint Chocolate Cookie Pops NOW!!!!! wowzer!!!
Yummy! I can't wait to try them out.
These sound like something my kids will really enjoy. Both making them and eating them. And then probably inventing some freakish and hopefully delicious flavors of their own.
I lived off banana creamies during the 4th month of this pregnancy and I'm ready for a little variety in my frozen treat selections. These look great!
Forget the kids- I want to make these for my husband and me to eat after the kiddos go to bed! These look SO tasty with endless possibilities.
I really wanted the strawberries and cream recipe … where is it???
I can't wait to try to mint chocolate! YUM!
Wow, these all look so good! I don't know which ones to make first!
So cute!! Ah, I am going to try these for SURE!
What the crap? I'm trying to lose weight here! 😛
Where is the Strawberry and Cream RECIPE??????
geez ladies….you have really outdone yourselves here!!
these all look great!
you know, I have a 2 year old who's a SUPER picky eater. Picky like, he will only eat bread, cheese, macaroni and popsicles. I have been creative in my popsicle making, trying to sneak in healthy things like carrot juice, yogurt, and fruit puree. The little guy can't get enough of the healthy goodness, and I feel ok about him eating 4 popsicles a day!!
Never would have thought of the blueberry-lemon cheesecake combo. Brilliant!
These look yummy, and not to mention perfect for summer!
tari.mcdonald @ gmail . com
My kids would love these, they would say "Did Sara make these?" They think you are super mom, so hopefully my stock will go up when I take credit for them 🙂
Just bought popsicle molds. You've given me more ideas than I can handle. Must go to store now!
Trust me, you are not the only one loosing their mind! These all look amazing! Can't wait to try the pina colada ones!
Yum! I'm gonna need to buy more popsicle molds! Or maybe I'll just use my ice cube trays and toothpicks for small portions for my toddler until I can get to the store.
I gotta say, the mint chocolate cookie pops look and sound the best. I think those would be my favorite. What a great idea, in general, though. Never would've thought to make my own pudding pops! I may have to try the banana one with chocolate pudding though… I love the combo of chocolate and banana!
– Jennifer
I can't wait to try these! The possibilities are endless. Thanks!
I best be buying myself some popsicle molds. These flavors looks so awesome.
These look so great.. I cannot wait to make these when my niece and nephew come for a visit in a couple weeks!! Oh and I will make them for hubby too as he is really a big kid!
Kids? I'm going to make these for ME.
sounds great!
Oh my goodness! Now the only problem is which one to try first!
I'm drooling, these all look so fantastic! I love me some pudding pops and I can't wait to try these!
These look so good-especially for a hot day like today. On my way to the kitchen right now to whip up a batch.
These all look so good I can't even decide which to make first. I'm going to make the kids vote!
What great ideas! Now I need to run out to Target to find the molds!!
These look delicious! My mom made chocolate pudding pops for us once when we were little – I still remember them! I used to love them (even the store bought ones by Jello.) Banana was my absolute fave…ooh – chocolate and vanilla swirl, too. Dang it. Now I want one. ((Sigh.))
my fave is pina colada. i know it's kids week, but to make it an adult snack, i can add a splash of white rum maybe. 🙂
Yum! I am definitely going to have to try the mint chocolate. I must be thinking in the same wavelength because I posted about pops today, too.
My kiddos are a little young for these still but that doesn't mean I can't make them for myself, right? 🙂
My little boy was looking at the pics of the pops with me and he pointed to the strawberry ones and said, "Let's make those." I guess they looked the yummiest. Please post the recipe!!
I cannot WAIT to make these! These are great ideas!!!!!!!!!
I just discovered your blog a few weeks ago and wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying it! Thank you so much for sharing all of your delicious recipes and ideas!!!
Is there a trick to getting them out of the molds? I had to run them under hot water and then they were all metly.
Oooh, the strawberries and cream look yummy!
We JUST tried this out.. so good!! 🙂
Wondering if it would be wrong if I made some of these pops for dinner?!!
These all look so yummy! I think adding crumbled up graham cracker crust to the cheescake one would be soooo good!
Those look amazingly yummy!
Oh yum!!! I've marked this page to make these! I need to find better pop molds, because the $1 store ones are cheapo junk.
The cookies and the cheesecake sounds super yummy!
Would love to know how long it takes these to freeze, please.
Wow! I am excited for kids week! Thank You!
My children will officially love you forever.
Mmmmmmmm…I am going to have to run out and buy some of the molds so I can make these!
I don't know which one to try first. They all look yummy!
Oh…my…goodness…I am all over the mint chocolate cookie pops!!! 🙂
I love it!
If it weren't for my current issues with gestational diabetes, I would make every single one of these flavors!!
These look so yummy! Can't wait to spend time in the kitchen with my kids!
I know what I'm doing tomorrow… Yummy!
I'm so going out tomorrow to buy popsicle molds AND maybe some dixie cups so I can do smaller versions for the kids at summer camp with popsicle sticks! 🙂
Katie
Wow! I'm drooling they look so good.
Wow, Sara! You outdid yourself with this post. Pudding pops were one of my favorite things when I was little. I wonder why Jell-o doesn't make them anymore. Can't wait to try these!
All of those look so good! I'll definitely have to try them!
All of those look so good! I'll definitely have to try them!
i love making popsicles with yogurt- can't wait to try pudding- even better!
I want some of these right now, they look so good!
Those strawberry and cream ones look so neat! I am going to load up on pudding flavors next time I am at the store.
These look incredible! I love the variety of flavors you gave us. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! 🙂
These look incredible! I love the variety of flavors you gave us. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! 🙂
I have never seen such scrumptious looking fudgesicles in my entire life! I think my husband will be more excited to try these than anyone!
I am all over those mint chocolate cookie pops, and my son will like the strawberries and cream. Thank you, I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
yummalicious….is that a word? I am headed over to the big Wally world tommorow to get my supplies. Blueberry lemon cheesecake…. now you KNOW that is for ME!
Oh wow…I'm really excited about the Pina Colada and the Cherry Almond Fudge!! Well, and the Strawberries and Cream (when said notebook or random scrap paper is located… =)
These are soo cute…i think my hubby is going to have a love-hate relationship with those mint oreo ones! P.S. I LOVE that star shaped mold….where did you get that one????
Wow, these look so yummy!!! I was thinking something way less creative when I first saw the title. I will definitely be trying these! Thanks!!!!
what a wonderful post! And just in time for our upcoming Bible school. It would be so much fun to make Popsicles with the kids. I love the idea of mint choc and the lemon blueberry.
It was just yesterday that I was wondering if they still made pudding pops… now i can just make my own. All of the variations look delicious.
These look so good! I can't wait to try them.
I recently posted a list of popsicle recipes on my blog that I had made, but wow, your recipe list is amazing! I can't wait to make some of these, uh, for the kids, of course…. 🙂
Um, yeah, are these for the kids? I'm thinking I don't want to share.
I am excited to try the PB Banana ones.
Those are all such fun combos! I'm definitely going to have to try some of those out!
Forget my kids I want to eat these! These look great girls! Good job.
These look DELICIOUS!
i'm making these today! first, i just have to find a mold, and then pudding, maybe a little half and half…. a trip to the store might be in order.
I've been wanting to make popsicles this summer. Thanks for all the ideas!
My kids love homemade pudding pops. Thanks for the great ideas!
Who needs kids for this stuff, I want them just for myself!
LOVE all your popsicle creations and my boys would, too!
WOW those look soooo good! I have 3kids at home that would love to try all of those. Well I guess only 2 of my kids could try, one is only 5 months so that might not be a great idea for him. ha
could those look any more delicious?!?! major yum!
These look so good! Will have to try this for sure. Thank you!
!! I would LOVE to try making the cherry one!
These look delicious, easy, and fun!
I loved pudding pops when I was a kid. I can't wait to make these with mine. Thanks for the tip.
i'm drooling over these…literally drooling!
Mint chocolate cookie pops? You must have known me in a previous life!!! OOOH, that sounds so good!!
These look completely amazing. I can't wait to make them and impress my family!
We made the PB banana ones today.. YUM! i have always loved pudding pops, why don't they sell them anymore? weird. thanks for the recipes!
I'm curious, Sara, about why you used sugar-free pudding instead of regular? Would it make any difference to use regular pudding?
Thanks for all the fabulous ideas!
These all look so delicious. I can't wait to make them for my kids (& me of course!)
I can't wait to make these – I might even share with my kids!
Got to get myself some popsicle molds!
Those strawberry ones look amazing!
Yum! I can't wai to try them!
YUMMY!
You ROCK!! I'm printing now so I can experiment tomorrow!
Oh my goodness so many yummy flavors!
I can't wait to try some of these, I think I love popsicles more than my kids. I have just been pouring our leftover smoothies in them.
WOWIE! What can I say more? These look amazing! I was just telling DH the other day that I need to learn how to make pudding pops! Mmmmmmm! I'll have to try these out!
Umm…ok. It's after midnight and my mouth is watering. This does not bode well for my waistline! They all look delish but I'm wondering…how did you store these bad boys?
We've never tried these at home but the Oreo ones look incredible and I bet my son would love these!
melacan at hotmail dot com
As soon as I saw these, I immediately had to print them off. They just look so delicious. Though, I'm not so sure I want to share them with my kids. . .
You know the way to my heart with the mint chocolate pops. It's not even 9am and already I'm craving ice cream. Yum yum!
Chocolate ice cream and popsicles and cookies…. Isabel will be in heaven! These look great. 🙂
We just bought 2 sets of molds and have only used koolaid, so this makes me excited about popsicles. Thanks soooooo much.
I just made up a batch of the mint chocolate ones last night and I just could not bear to throw away the extra (I only had 4 popsicle molds) so, I did what any sane person would do and ate it….oh man, can't wait for those puppies to get out of the freezer! Simply divine! Lemon blueberry cheesecake is next up!
such fun pics you took of these! Can't wait to try the pina colada and the cherry fudge (though I must admit I love maraschino cherries and would prob use those…like those boxed cherry chocolates haha)
These bring back so many memories of childhood, except mine weren't that yummy looking!
These look amazing and I bet they are even more amazing when you eat them!
Lucky us that you shared all these fun ideas, experiments, and recipes with us!
These look sooooo goood!!!! Thanks for mentioning you can use soy milk!!
Oh my! These look so delicious! I can't wait to try them! I don't know if I will want to share them with the kids though!
I am really excited to try some of these! Love all the pictures and your blog!
I am excited to try some of these–I love all of the variations for the freezer pops! Mmmmm!
I am definitely going to try these. So fun and easy!
These look so good … my kids will love them!
I can't wait to try these. I definitely prefer creamy treats! Oh yeah, I think my kids may like these as well.
Those ALL look so good. My mouth is watering just looking at them. I love all the pictures too! I definitely need to go buy some popsicle molds.
Oooh, perfect timing! The weather is hot, I'm out of Otter Pops and I'm just planning my grocery list. Plus, I'm tired of giving my kids those sugary pops. I have the molds, but have only done kool-aid or lemonaide. Not nearly as creative (or healthy) as all these yummy flavors! Thanks! I'm loving kids' week!
Those look SO adorable! And delicious!
Oh. My. GOODNESS.
I am making popsicles tonight.
Oh- and I made the strawberry sorbet recipe for our 4th of July dessert. It got RAVE reviews from the family!!
YUM!!! I love pudding pops and can't wait to make the blueberry lemon ones!!
So many yummy flavors!
cannot wait to try some of these decadent popsicles! yummy!
Forget the kids, I want one of these! 🙂
These look amazing. I think they are as much for mommies as for kids. I can't wait to try them.
I think we will finally get around to trying these this weekend!
Oh my stinking heck! I can't wait to try these! I am stuck in a hotel room in Houston, with no ingredients and no popsicle containers. Thank you again for making such a fabulous post for us to learn from!
Oh my!! Those combos look soooo yummy!
Those mint pops look so good, I think I know what is for dessert tonight.
I've done this before, but I've never thought of all these flavor combos…awesome!
fave summer recipe so far 🙂
How much do I love you for this. Last night I was thinking – I need to make some popsicles, because really, they are expensive and not that good – why can't I make some better ones? I even bought molds. You are inspired.
These look amazing!
Ok, these look so incredible! I'm totally want to try them all.
Mmmmm….If they even taste just half as good as they look! Can't wait to try!!!
Yum! My kids will love this!
These are something I'll definitely be trying someday when my nieces & nephew are older!
I can't wait to make the choc. mint. That is my favorite combo.
oh wow, all i can say is yum. i need to go get some fun reusable popsicle containers.
What a great idea! I actually made some jello pops – inspired by the new Popsicle brand slow melts – and was dreaming of pudding pops too! Thanks for the great recipes!
hey, they look great, but what is "half and half" in one of the recipes? thanks!
recette- half and half can be found in the dairy section by the cream. It is a mixture of half cream and half milk.
I'm slow posting a comment but here goes:
I made these and they tasted divine BUT I had a horrible time getting them out of the molds. Any suggestions?
Fancypants (love that name!) – I just run mine under warm water until they pop out. I have noticed though, that the ones with grooves in them- rocket pop style- (like the strawberries and cream ones above) are much harder to get out than the plain round or flat ones, so I just use the plain ones now.
I just found your blog tonight and I've been scrolling through the millions of posts I've never seen and my both has literally been hanging open! Thank you for your posts.
Fabulous. My kids (shhhh, me too) will absolutely love these.
I have chocolate-raspberry-chile pops in the freezer right now. Thought I was all that and a bag of chips until I found these recipes. Can't wait to try these!!
Any suggestions if you are using cooked pudding instead of instant? I can't find instant organic, but I found it in regular cooking on the stovetop kind. Should I decrease the milk? Just make as is? All of the above? LOL
Mary, I honestly don't know! I'd have to play around with it to see. But if you happen to first, let us know how they turn out!
wow what a great way to cool off in the summer.
Just made the strawberries and cream…yum! But I have to ask, how do you get them to come out of the molds so perfectly? I can’t do it to save my life!
Heather, I just run them under warm water- but only really quickly. I think some people do it too much and then they end up melting!
That is what I did…maybe I did it too long though, thanks! (It could just be me!)
Do you think fat-free half and half would work as well as the regular half-and-half, or would it make the popsicles icier like low-fat milk would?
Just tried it…fat-free half-and-half makes great pudding pops, but I’ll probably try the regular stuff next time to compare. I’ve already made the chocolate-mint-oreo pops AND the strawberries and cream pops! I also used the recipe as an inspiration to make cookies and cream pops using vanilla pudding (http://prettyladydesigns.blogspot.com/2011/04/in-kitchen-cookies-n-cream-pudding-pops.html). I linked back to this site to give you the credit. Thanks so much for sharing this! My hubby misses the jell-o pudding pops so he appreciates it too. :o)
Pudding popsicles: why is it necessary to add the sugar? Is it to just sweeten the strawberries? Or is it used for the freezing process. Thank you
Both Joann, but if you wanted to leave it out, you certainly could.
YUM!!! I have made the blueberry and the strawberry recipes with my daughter and they are easy and delicious. Thanks so much!
My daughter, my cousin’s little girl and I made the Chocolate-mint cookie bars Tuesday night, then we enjoyed them after dinner last night. THEY WERE AMAZING!! I can’t wait to try another flavor, we might have to buy more molds! (Although shot glasses with sticks are the perfect size for my almost 5 yr old!)
So far we’ve tried the mint chocolate cookie pops, strawberries and cream, and PB banana! Yum! Although the PB banana was definitely not as big a hit with my crowd. I also like your strawberry watermelon ice pops. Thanks for the recipes! 🙂
Seriously, can someone tell me how the popsicles in those pictures came out so beautifully. Mine wont leave the mold. 🙁 HELP!
Lol, sometimes they can be tricky! I just run them under hot water and keep wiggling!
Question: In your cookbook it says to use a 1 oz. box of pudding, but the small boxes are 3.4 oz. so I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to use the whole box or not? These are great and I can’t wait to make them with my kiddos! Thanks for your help in advance. 🙂
Its’ a little confusing Kristina, because we’re talking about sugar free pudding, which is 1 oz. Regular pudding is 3.4 oz. They both work fine, so as long as you’re using the small, 4 serving box, you’re good!
What great looking recipes! We made some this week! I’m featuring you as a favorite find for the week on my blog! Check it out at

So, since I’m a sucker for all your brazilian recipes, how well do you think the brazilian lemonade would freeze?
These look so good. I can’t wait to try! Thanks for sharing. I’ll post on my blog when I get a chance to try and link to you. I’ve become obsessed with making pops these days….
Going to the store RIGHT NOW to stock up on pudding and popsicle molds. Thank you so much! Also, I’ve been looking for a way to use the “chocolate mint” I recently planted in my garden and I think it will be fantastic in the mint chocolate cookie pops. I think I’m more excited than my kids are! 🙂
just attempted to make these last night…can’t wait to try one. i was wondering if i made them correctly though. the mixture seemed very thick. i just dumped the pudding mix powder in the blender with the half and half. i did not prepare the instant pudding according to the directions on the box first. is this correct? just wondering
These make me even more impatient for some hot weather!!!
I love the peanut butter banana ones!!!!!!!!
Have you tried using coconut milk? I can’t have dairy or soy, but want these in my belly 🙂
I haven’t- but I bet it would be yummy!
I’m so excited to make these. Is there a reason you used sugar free pudding other than to get less sugar content in the pudding pops? Just wondering if regular pudding would change the texture or not.
Any sugar free ideas? Sugar is not exactly popular these days. Thanks
I only use sugar free pudding- you can adapt these in many ways.
Yummy recipes! I read through most of the comments…can’t find answer to my question…would your recipes work with regular pudding instead of instant?
I’d stick with instant Renie!
We have never had pudding pops before, so we made the strawberries and creme one with blueberry yogurt. They were delicious! I could of eaten them all myself! Can’t wait to try the others!
I’ve had much fun this summer trying many of these recipes with my boys. All hits, I might add. I wanted to thank you for sharing and also share our own recipe (inspired by yours!) We took a small box of chocolate pudding mix and mixed it with 1 3/4 cups milk. Then diced 3-4 regular marshmallows, broke two whole sheets of graham crackers, and stirred them in before freezing for S’mores Pops! They are already asking for s’more! Thanks again!
Hello
I do not have a blender
Can I use and electric mixer?
These are a great idea 🙂
Sure, that would probably work 🙂
can you substitute banana pudding for the vanilla and bananas? my store doesn’t usually have ripe bananas
Just ask the produce department- they usually keep the over-ripe bananas in the back!
how can we print out the recipes without having to print the entire comments etc. C.
I just fixed it for ya Connie! You should now see print boxes around all of the recipes.
I want to make these, but only have the large size boxes of pudding on hand. Any idea what the conversion would be for the rest of the recipe. Unfortunately, the large size is 5.1 ounces, so not a simple doubling of the small 3.4 ounce size.
You’d have to get out a kitchen scale and weigh out 3.4 ounces- I’ve done it many times!
I wonder if using greek yogurt for the dairy? Or greek yogurt + skim milk?
