Miss Jell-O Pudding Pops? They're Ridiculously Easy To Make At Home - Tasting Table

"First and foremost, grab your Jello-O Pudding Mix and dump it into a large bowl. You'll want the kind that you can make with cold milk, not the one that needs heating up. Add the milk as instructed on the packaging and stir until fully mixed. If you want to make a version of the pudding pops similar to the 1960s-style Jell-O Pudding Frozen Fudge Pops, you can stop here,"

"but if you're hoping for a fluffier texture similar to later pudding pop styles, mix in 1 cup of Cool Whip. Once the mixture is ready to go, scoop it into whatever mold fits your fancy, such as these handy silicone ice pop molds or these avant-garde dinosaur-shaped ice pop molds, and freeze for between four to six hours. As long as you avoid these 10 mistakes you're making with homemade popsicles, you'll have a taste of that nostalgic frozen treat in no time."

Jell-O Pudding Pops can be recreated at home using ready-to-mix cold pudding and milk. Mixing the pudding as directed yields a base; adding one cup of Cool Whip produces a fluffier, later-style texture while omitting it replicates the denser 1960s frozen fudge pops. The mixture should be poured into silicone or novelty molds and frozen for four to six hours. Original commercial kits once included molds and multiple boxes of chocolate and vanilla pudding, and a swirl option combined both flavors. Avoid common homemade popsicle mistakes to ensure proper texture and easy unmolding.
