Ingredients
Scale
White Chocolate Pudding Base
- 3 boxes white chocolate instant pudding (3.3 ounces each)
- 5 cups whole milk
Coloring
- Red food coloring
- Blue food coloring
Instructions
- Combine Pudding and Milk: In a large bowl, mix the white chocolate instant pudding mixes with the whole milk until smooth and well combined.
- Whisk Thoroughly: Whisk the mixture vigorously until it thickens and the pudding is fully incorporated.
- Divide Pudding: Transfer the pudding evenly into three separate bowls to prepare for coloring.
- Add Red Color: Stir red food coloring into one of the bowls, adjusting the amount until you achieve your desired shade of red.
- Add Blue Color: Similarly, whisk blue food coloring into the second bowl until the color is vibrant and even.
- Keep One Bowl White: Leave the third bowl with the plain white pudding as is, without adding any coloring.
- Prepare for Piping: Spoon the pudding from each bowl into individual zip-top bags to use as piping bags; seal the bags securely.
- Cut Piping Tips: Snip a small corner off the end of each bag to create a piping tip for controlled dispensing.
- Pipe Red Layer: Carefully pipe the red pudding into the popsicle molds to fill about one-third of each mold.
- Pipe White Layer: Follow by piping the white pudding layer on top of the red, filling the next third of the mold.
- Pipe Blue Layer: Complete each mold by piping the blue pudding on top, filling to the top.
- Insert Lids and Sticks: Place the lids on the popsicle molds securely, inserting the sticks into their slots.
- Freeze: Place the molds on a flat surface in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours until fully set.
- Unmold and Serve: Gently remove the popsicles from the molds and serve immediately for a refreshing and colorful treat.
Notes
- Make sure not to overfill the molds to prevent overflow when layering the puddings.
- If pudding is too thick to pipe easily, whisk in a little extra milk to loosen it before piping.
- The puddings need ample freezing time to set properly—at least 4 hours is recommended.
- Use whole milk for the creamiest texture; low-fat milk may reduce creaminess.
- For easier unmolding, briefly run warm water on the outside of the popsicle molds.
