. Chocolate Pudding with Whipped Cream Popsicles .

Pin It

Bought these molds awhile back....

First thing that came to mind was "I must make pudding pops" I've always wanted to make them. Plus I always go for the easy recipes and I was too lazy to make my own ice cream. Someday though...someday.

Ingredients:

• 1 pkg. (3.9 oz.) chocolate instant pudding
• 2 cups cold milk
• 2 cups thawed whipped topping (like cool whip. but I just made my own:)

 

 

Preparation:

 

 

Beat pudding mix and milk in medium bowl with whisk 2 min.

Stir in 1 cup of whipped topping.

Spoon into 4 paper or plastic cups or popsicle molds. (I alternated layers of pudding and the extra cup of whipped topping like in a parfait . You can be creative and try different combinations instead of whipped topping. I also added some layers of toffee and almond bits in there as well.)

Insert wooden pop stick or plastic spoon in center of each cup if using paper or plastic cups.

Freeze 4 hours or until firm. Remove from cups before serving.

the whipped cream part was my favorite ^_^

Fluffy......

I love strawberries. Unfortunately, my daughter doesn't:( She used to eat them when she was an infant/toddler, including bananas, mango, melon, apples even lemons! Then after she turned 2, she stopped liking fruit all together. I couldn't figure out why. Now that she's almost 5, she started getting back into the habit of eating fruits and veggies again, most especially broccoli and bananas. A couple weeks ago, she asked if  I could buy her some strawberries to eat. Of course, baby. I'd gladly buy you strawberries!

I remembered we still had some heavy whipping cream left over in the fridge, so I thought we could also make some yummy whipped cream to go with our delicious fruit.
She loved making this because you could see the cream get fluffy and thick as you whip it up in your mixer. I like it because you could control the sweetness level. It was also good way to help her eat more fruit without too much sugar being added.

Homemade Whipped Cream

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons-1/4 cup powdered sugar (depending how sweet you like it)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation:

Chill your large bowl and whisk attachment in freezer for at least 1/2 an hour.

In a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks are just about to form.

Beat in vanilla and sugar until peaks form.

Make sure not to over-beat, cream will then become lumpy and butter-like.    

Floating on a cloud of whipped cream~ This strawberry is very happy ^_^
