JELLO BANANA PUDDING POPS

The summer weather sure makes our family reach for cool treats. I crave popsicles in the summer months!

When I was young, I loved Jell-O Pudding Pops, they were so creamy and delicious. Yet, for some reason they stopped making them here in Canada. Do remember them?

Does the commercial with Bill Cosby ring a bell? Ahh, what a flash from the past.

Unfortunately, my kids have no idea when I talk about my favourite 80’s summer treat. “Pudding? In a Popsicle?” my daughter questions {yet the original Pudding Pops were actually made by Kraft, just so you know}.

So, I did some research on the net, seeking the answer to why Kraft stopped making these awesome treats.

Instead I read a ton of consumer disappointment and many people excited to discover that you can easily make them at home. Score!

So, I set out to make Pudding Pops for my kids, and share with them my favourite treats from I was young.

They are creamy and delicious, just like I remember! I’m also getting more creative with the Pudding Pops I make.

I have added fresh banana to the pudding and even crushed Oreos with Vanilla pudding to make cookies and cream.

Also, try out the other JELLO mixes and make lime and others, the choices are endless. Summer just got a whole lot sweeter!

Here’s the recipe I use:

Ingredients

1 large box Jell-O Banana Cook & Serve Pudding {you can use the instant kind (5.1 oz, yet it won’t be as creamy. I tried both})
3 cups cold milk
1 cup thawed Cool Whip Whipped Topping {in a pinch I have used whipped topping in a can and it was a good alternative}

Instructions

Make the pudding as the package explains.
Cool slightly
Add Cool Whip Topping to the pudding, stirring well
Let Pudding mixture cool to lukewarm
Pour into popsicle molds or use Dixie cups {for this method, insert one Popsicle stick in the middle as it should have cooled enough to set and hold the stick in place}
Place in freezer
Freeze for at least 5 hours and enjoy!

I remember having these as a kid!

I haven’t seen pudding pops since I was a kid and Bill Cosby was “selling them” but they look so yummy and yet so easy to make !

I can’t remember the last time I saw Jello Pudding Pops in the store. I would love to makes these as well as the fruity Jello version. Time for some new popsicle molds.
