Tips
- Whole milk will make the pudding mixture richer and creamier.
- For an extra special touch, dip the frozen popsicles in melted chocolate and sprinkle with crushed vanilla wafers, chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
- Make a yogurt pop by incorporating Greek yogurt to the banana pudding mix.
- Run the bottom of the silicone popsicle molds under warm water for a few seconds. This helps to slightly melt the outer layer, making it easier to release the popsicle.
Frequently Asked Questions About Homemade Popsicles
There are a couple options for this. You can use a muffin tin or plastic or paper cups. Layer the popsicles the same way and use a popsicle stick in the center. Cover the tin or cups with aluminum foil so you can insert the popsicle sticks through it.
Once fully frozen, you can remove them from the molds and store them individually in an airtight container or freezer bag to prevent freezer burn. These popsicles can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 weeks.
