Ingredients
If you want to make marbled or swirled pudding pops with two flavors, you will need two different Jello pudding mixes.
Directions
Begin by pouring the contents of the Jello instant pudding mix into a medium-sized bowl.
Gradually pour the cold milk into the bowl with the pudding mix. Use a whisk or spoon to combine the milk and pudding mix, ensuring that there are no lumps. Continue stirring for about 2 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken.
Take your popsicle molds or small paper cups and carefully pour the prepared pudding mixture into each mold.
I usually do this by adding the pudding to a ziplock bag or pastry bag and then piping it into the mold like I would frosting. Leave a little space at the top to allow for expansion when freezing.
Place the filled molds or cups in the freezer. It usually takes around 4-6 hours for the Jello pudding pops to freeze completely.
You can check the readiness by inserting a popsicle stick into the center of a pop—if it stands upright, the pops are ready.
Sometimes popsicles will easily remove from molds. But, if yours stick or seem too frozen to be able to easily slide from the mold, submerge the bottom part of the mold in warm water (taking care no water gets into the popsicles) until you can easily remove them.
