    STEP 2: You will be piping layers of the pudding mixture to make the popsicles. An easy way to do this is to scoop some pudding into a zip-top bag and cut a triangle corner off the bottom. You can use this like a pastry bag to pipe the pudding into the ice pop molds.

    STEP 3: Alternate layers of vanilla and chocolate pudding into your popsicle mold or cup. Do not fill all the way to the top. You will want to fill the molds enough to adhere to the popsicle stick while leaving a little space at the top of each popsicle mold for expansion while freezing.

    👩🏻‍🍳Expert Tips

    Tip 1: If you're kids are going to be eating these, you will end up with some messy kids. Keep some napkins and wet wipes on hand.

    Tip 2: Use whole milk instead of skim or low-fat milk for a creamier, richer texture. The higher the fat level, the better the flavor and texture of your pudding pops will be.


    🤷🏻‍♀️Recipe FAQs

    What can I use if I don't have a popsicle mold?

    If you don't have a popsicle mold, you can use small paper cups with the pudding layered in and a popsicle stick inserted in the middle.

    You can store these in the freezer for up to 2 months.

    Can I use sugar-free and fat-free pudding?

    Yes, we used them and the pudding pops are still delicious.
