Ingredients
Scale
- 3½ cups whole milk
- 1 3.3 ounces (93 grams) white chocolate instant Jell-O pudding mix
- 1 3.3 ounces (93 grams) chocolate instant Jell-O pudding mix
Instructions
- Whisk white chocolate pudding mix with milk in a medium bowl until smooth, allowing the mixture to slightly thicken for 2-3 minutes at room temperature.
- In a separate bowl, combine chocolate pudding mix with milk, whisking thoroughly until well blended and beginning to set.
- Transfer both pudding mixtures into a large zip-top bag, carefully creating alternating layers and swirled patterns.
- Cut a small corner from the bag and pipe the pudding mixture directly into popsicle molds, ensuring an even distribution of both chocolate varieties.
- Place molds in freezer at 0°F, allowing pudding pops to solidify completely for 4-5 hours or overnight.
- Remove pops from freezer and briefly submerge mold bottoms in warm water for 10-15 seconds to facilitate easy release.
- Gently twist and pull each pudding pop from its mold, ensuring smooth extraction without breaking the frozen treat.
Notes
- Customize pudding flavors by swapping white and chocolate for other varieties like butterscotch or vanilla to create unique combinations.
- Use low-fat or non-dairy milk alternatives for a lighter version that accommodates dietary restrictions.
- Prevent ice crystals by ensuring pudding mixture is thick before freezing, which helps create smoother, creamier texture.
- Enhance presentation by rolling finished pudding pops in crushed nuts, chocolate chips, or sprinkles immediately after removing from molds for extra crunch and visual appeal.
