Serves: 8 pops
Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 popsicle sticks
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of chocolate pudding mix, 2 cups of milk, 1 cup of vanilla pudding mix, 2 cups of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 8 popsicle sticks.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of milk. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- In another mixing bowl, combine the vanilla pudding mix with 2 cups of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy, similar to the chocolate pudding.
- Prepare your popsicle molds by ensuring they are clean and dry. If you don't have popsicle molds, you can use small paper cups as an alternative.
- Using a spoon or a small ladle, carefully pour the chocolate pudding mixture into the popsicle molds, filling them about halfway.
- Next, take the vanilla pudding mixture and gently pour it on top of the chocolate pudding layer in each mold, filling them to the top. You can use a skewer or a toothpick to swirl the two layers together slightly for a marbled effect, but be careful not to mix them completely.
- Insert a popsicle stick into the center of each mold, ensuring it stands upright. If the mixture is too thin, you may need to wait a few minutes for it to set slightly before inserting the sticks.
- Cover the popsicle molds with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent freezer odors from affecting the pops.
- Place the molds in the freezer and allow the pudding pops to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.
- Once frozen, remove the pudding pops from the molds by running warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen them.
- Carefully pull the pops out of the molds and enjoy your delicious chocolate vanilla swirled pudding pops!
Tips
- Whisk thoroughly to prevent lumps in your pudding mixtures for a silky-smooth texture.
- For a more dramatic swirl effect, slightly chill the first pudding layer before adding the second layer.
- Use a toothpick or skewer to create beautiful marbled patterns without fully mixing the layers.
- If you don't have popsicle molds, paper cups work great as an alternative.
- To easily remove pops from molds, run warm water over the outside for a few seconds.
- For a fun variation, try adding chocolate chips or sprinkles between layers.
- Store your finished pudding pops in a sealed freezer bag to prevent freezer burn.
- Let the pops sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes before serving for the perfect creamy consistency.
