The Mystery of disappearing Pudding Pops!

August 19, 2006 – 1:15 pm

Ladies and gentleman I have for you a newly found treat.

 Behold the Pudding Pop Recipe.

No I have no clue if they really taste the same. But I am trying it this weekend and I will report back.

 I can’t seem to find any history of what happened to the real pudding pops either. Scarry? Maybe. I just know I am not the only one that misses them. They brought back the name but not the "real" thing yet.

 Any who!

Recipe for Pudding Pops

Thanks Chef Andy

2 cups cold milk

1 package (4-serving size) Jell-O Instant Pudding and Pie Mix

6 (5-oz) paper cups

6 popsicle sticks

Beat pudding mix and milk together, at least two minutes. Spoon into cups. Insert popsicle stick in center of each cup. Freeze 5 hours (or overnight). To remove pop from cup, place bottom of cup in warm water for 15 seconds. Press firmly on bottom of cup and push pop out. Don’t pull on the popsicle stick.

  2. Yeah, what did happen to pudding pops? I loved those, I would have killed for those when I was preggo. Thanks for the recipe, I’m totally going to the store in the morning!

  3. isn’t that just the standard recipe off the box + sticks and freezing? I may have to try it. I loved pudding pops, too- especially the layer of ice that formed on the sides. Creamies are similar, but not as lovely as I remember pudding pops to be.

  4. I love this. So excited! I can’t believe I wasn’t the only one to think of pudding pops from your last post. YOu have to let me know how they are. What I really want to know about is whether or not they have the thin layer of ice on the outside of them. To me, it was fascinating.

  5. Yum! But in my next life if I am lactose intolerant again? I’m asking for a refund.

  6. I actually CALLED Jello in college to find out what happened to them… they said there wasn’t enough interest so they pulled them off the market. Are you Kidding?!? They’re fabulous… and such a part of my childhood. Maybe if we all call them (in mass) they’ll bring the real ones back?

  7. Wow. My comment started a movement. Whoda thought? I will try the pudding pop recipe but I know it can’t possibly be the same as when Bill Cosby used to peddle them.

    Chocolate and vanilla swirl. MMMMMM.

  9. Ahhhh…nostalgia! My grandma would make them for us when we were little. Tupperware used to sell molds that were in the same shape as the “real” pudding pops. I bet you could find some on e-bay.
