Project: Jello Pudding Pops

The pinned photo looks yummy!

I found this recipe while trolling through the Food category on Pinterest.com and thought to myself, "WHO doesn't enjoy pudding pops?!"

I decided to give this pin a whirl.

One thing i noticed while preparing is that the recipe says one thing while the caption under the pinned photo says another.

The CAPTION reads: (click here to view the pin)

"Remember pudding pops? 1 pkg instant pudding, 1 1/2c milk, 2c cool whip. Dissolve pudding in milk, whip in cool whip. Spoon into 3 oz dixie cups and insert popsicle stick. Freeze."


The RECIPE reads: (click here to view the original recipe)

1 package JELL-O Chocolate Sugar-Free Pudding
2 cups Fat-Free Milk
1 cup Sugar-Free Cool Whip

1. Beat pudding mix & milk in a medium bowl with whisk for about 2 mins.
2. Stir in Sugar-Free Cool Whip.
3. Spoon mix into small paper/plastic cups.
4. Insert wooden sticks into the middle of each.
5. Freeze for 4 hours or until firm.
- To remove from cups, run under warm water.

My Recommendation:

- Add 1/2 cup more milk than the pudding recipe states.
- Use plastic lollipop sticks. Easier the maneuver than wooden sticks (in the event your mixture isn't firm).
- Fold in 2 cups of cool whip.
- You may use the plastic/paper cups, but you can also use Popsicle molds (easily found in the grocery store).

*I'd LOVE to show you a photo of my finished product but it doesn't look as good as the pinned photo.
