Remember when I wrote a guest post for Brandy over at Nutmeg Nanny? Well, I am so happy to have her here today to return the favor. And what she made looks delicious and perfect for a warm summer day. Thanks Brandy!
Hi everyone! I’m Brandy from the food blog Nutmeg Nanny. I’m so excited to be guest posting for Rachel today.
Do you remember the Bill Cosby Pudding Pop commercials from the 1980′s? I used to love them. He talked me into loving pudding pops and pudding in general. I sadly haven’t seen pudding pops in the store in a long long time. I’m not sure if they do not sell them anymore or if they are just not available where I live. That’s when I decided that I had to make my own. The best part is that you can make whatever flavor you want! I only had two boxes of Jello in the house so I didn’t have a large selection. However, I think I made a delicious choice – seasonal release Jell-O classic turtle. It’s a blend of chocolate, caramel and pecan flavors. It made an amazing pudding pop
Enjoy!
Homemade Pudding Pops:
one 3.4 ounce box instant pudding – any flavor
2 cups milk or half & half – the higher the fat content of the milk the creamier the pudding pop
In a large bowl mix together pudding and milk until just combined. Working quickly (so the pudding does not get thick) fill molds and freeze.
A small box of Jello instant pudding made 4 1/2 pudding pops.

These sound amazing! I need to buy a popsicle mold!
Me too, Autumn!
That’s a great idea! Never would have thought of regular ‘ol pudding mix to make popsicles.
These look great Brandy! Just yesterday I copied down a fudgesicle recipe from a magazine, so I’ll be following suit soon!
I love pudding pops! I was always the weird kid who wanted the vanilla ones. But I would eat this tasty treat!!!
No way – how have I lived twenty-something years without a pudding pop?! Great idea – thanks for sharing…must go buy pop mold!
Thank you for letting me guest post
You’re welcome to guest post any time! Want to do it once a week?
Just kidding….sorta…
I used to love pudding pops so these would definitely bring back some happy memories! Good times!
So much better then the frozen store bought. They look delicious!
do you remember the raspberry pudding pops? they were my FAVORITE! so good.
What a fabulous idea! Instead of watery popsicles, there’s cold pudding! Never have even had a store bought one. I guess you can tell it’s been a while since I had kids around.
Mmmm pudding pops are my favorite! How fun to make them yourself at home
I’m loving your site by the way!!
Thanks Kelly, love your site’s facelift too!
Looks yummy! My friend has been making pudding pops with all sorts of concoctions in them. Her son is selling them in their front yard like a lemonade stand for 25 or 50 cents each. I’ll have to check out the rest of your site!
These are brilliant and perfect for a hot Summer day!
If you don’t have the molds, you can use small paper or plastic cups and popsicle sticks.
MUST try these pops asap! They look awesome
These would be a big hit with my kids. Perfect for a hot summer’s day.
in the 80′s i was obsessed with bill and his pudding pops (and picture pages too)
love these I the popsicle girl this Summer!
I’m so excited to make these!!! Thanks for the post. What size box of pudding did you use?
Hi Butterfly,
It’s a 3.4 oz box. The smaller size. Thanks!
I got in touch with Brandy, who created this recipe–it is the 3.4 oz box. Thanks for pointing that out–the recipe has been updated.
