Cookies and Cream Pudding Pops
Description
This recipe combines half and half, milk, vanilla, and dry instant pudding mix to create a creamy base. Chopped chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos) are stirred in to provide crunch and the familiar cookies and cream flavor. The mixture is poured into popsicle molds and frozen for at least two hours.
For a chocolate-dipped variant, semi-sweet chocolate chips are melted with a small amount of vegetable oil to a smooth consistency. Frozen popsicles are dipped into the melted chocolate, then chilled briefly to harden the coating. This contrast of creamy popsicle with a crisp chocolate shell adds texture and richness.
These popsicles offer a cold, creamy dessert with the texture of cookies throughout. They can be enjoyed as a refreshing treat, particularly in warmer weather. The recipe notes a flavor variation using Golden Oreos for different taste and appearance.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups half and half
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- 4 tablespoons Instant pudding mix dry, cookies n' cream flavor
- 8 chocolate sandwich cookies aka: Oreos, roughly chopped

Instructions
- In a medium bowl add half and half, milk, vanilla, and pudding mix. Whisk until combined. Stir in chopped oreos. Pour mix into popsicle molds and freeze for 2 hours or overnight.
- When ready to eat, run the plastic popsicle molds under hot water for 20 seconds to loosen the pops, then squeeze the bottoms and slide the popsicles out.
for chocolate-dipped popsicles
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and oil and give it a stir.
- Microwave on high for 45 seconds. Stir, and return to microwave for 20 seconds at a time, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth.
- Dip frozen popsicles in the melted chocolate and immediately lay on a parchment or foil-lined tray.
