How to Make Red White and Blue Pudding Pops

Step 1: Prepare the pudding mixture. In a large bowl combine the white chocolate pudding with the milk and whisk until combined. Separate pudding mixture into 3 separate bowls.

Step 2: Add the colors. Add red food coloring into one bowl until desired shade and whisk together. Repeat with the blue food coloring in a separate bowl. Leave the third pudding mixture white.

Step 3: Prepare the pudding bags. Add each color pudding into their own ziploc bag. Seal and snip off the end.

Step 4: Make the pudding pops. Pipe the red pudding a third of the way up the popsicle mold. Repeat with the white pudding and then the blue. Place the lid on the popsicle mold and place the sticks in but leaving enough sticking out to be able to hold.

Step 5: Freeze and enjoy. Place popsicle mold on a flat surface in your freezer for 4-6 hours. Remove from mold and serve!

Recipe Tips

• Make sure to freeze for the allotted time to be sure they set correctly.
• Don’t have a popsicle mold? Use paper cups and stick a popsicle stick in after you’ve filled it with the pudding mixture.
• Don’t push popsicle sticks (also called craft sticks) all the way down. Leave some room so there is enough to hold the stick.
• Prepare them in advance for an ideal stash to have on hand when the kids yearn for a sweet summertime indulgence.

How to Store

Keep pudding pops stored in molds in freezer. Can use popsicle bags to keep them fresh in the freezer and great for making big batches at a time.
