Instructions

Mix Pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, until the mixture is smooth and has thickened slightly.
Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the 1/2 cup whipped topping until fully combined, creating a creamy texture that will freeze nicely.
Add Mix-Ins (Optional): If you want extra texture and flavor, stir in mini chocolate chips or crushed cookies evenly throughout the pudding mixture.
Fill Molds: Spoon the pudding mixture evenly into popsicle molds or paper cups, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
Insert Sticks and Freeze: Place wooden sticks into the center of each mold or cup and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
Unmold and Serve: To remove the pops from the molds, run them under warm water for a few seconds to loosen, then gently pull out the popsicles and enjoy.

Notes

You can use any flavor of instant pudding such as vanilla, butterscotch, or banana for variation.
For a dairy-free version, substitute plant-based milk and whipped topping alternatives labeled for freezing.
The popsicles are best enjoyed within a week for optimal freshness and texture.
Mix-ins are optional but add a delightful crunch and flavor contrast.
If you don’t have popsicle molds, small paper cups work perfectly and are easy to freeze.
