Homemade Pudding Pops
Description
This recipe mixes sugar, cornstarch, salt, and milk on the stove, cooking gently until thickened without boiling. High-quality semi-sweet chocolate is melted into the pudding base along with vanilla extract to develop a rich chocolate flavor and creamy consistency.
After straining to remove any lumps and cooling slightly, the pudding is poured into popsicle molds, leaving space for expansion, and frozen until firm. Warm water loosens the molds for easy removal, revealing smooth, chocolaty pudding pops.
The pops provide a chilled, satisfying dessert with a creamy mouthfeel and balanced sweetness. They make a refreshing homemade alternative to store-bought frozen treats and can be enjoyed anytime.
Any leftover pudding can be refrigerated and eaten on its own within a few hours for a smaller portion of chocolate pudding.
Ingredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar 100g
- ¼ cup corn starch 30g
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups milk whole preferred, but any percentage will work
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate good-quality chocolate chips are fine, 6 oz chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Slowly pour in milk, whisking continuously to keep lumps from forming.
- Heat over medium-low, whisking occasionally, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 to 15 minutes. Keep the heat low enough that the pudding thickens without coming to a simmer. If it begins to simmer, turn down the heat.
- Stir in chocolate and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, until chocolate is completely incorporated. Stir in vanilla and remove from heat.
- Strain mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any cornstarch lumps and allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Pour mixture into your popsicle mold, leaving about 1/2-inch of space at the top. Cover, add sticks, and freeze for at least four hours until solid.
- Run mold under warm water to loosen popsicles and gently remove from mold. Enjoy!
Notes
- Keep the cooking temperature low to avoid boiling and ensure smooth pudding texture.
- Run warm water on popsicle molds to ease removal of frozen pudding pops.
- Reserve any extra pudding in the refrigerator for a few hours to enjoy as a small batch of chocolate pudding.
