Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 1 3.9 oz box instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 cup Cool Whip thawed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Mini chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Let the pudding sit for 3 to 5 minutes so it can fully set and thicken.
- Gently fold in the Cool Whip and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fully combined.
- If desired, stir in mini chocolate chips for extra texture and chocolate flavor.
- Spoon or pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little room at the top for expansion while freezing.
- Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 8 hours, or until completely firm.
- To remove the popsicles from the molds, run warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds before serving.
Notes
- Whole milk creates the creamiest texture, but coconut milk can also be used.
- Store leftover popsicles in an airtight container or freezer-safe container to help prevent freezer burn.
- Add a pinch of salt or extra chocolate chips for even richer flavor.
- If you do not have popsicle molds, use paper cups and wooden popsicle sticks instead.
