Helpful Tools
Can you make fudge pops out of pudding?
Yes, and it’s so easy!
Mix: Whisk the milk and pudding mix until creamy and well combined.
Freeze: Pour the pudding mixture into the popsicle molds and freeze them overnight or until they are firm.
Enjoy! Once they’re frozen, remove fudgesicles from the molds following the manufacturer’s instructions. Usually, all it takes is running them under some warm water to release them.
Variations
You can use instant dark chocolate pudding mix or regular chocolate. Add a pinch of salt to really enhance that chocolatey flavor. You can also make other kinds of popsicles using any other pudding mix flavor! Vanilla or banana fudge pops, anyone?
I haven’t tested this recipe with non-dairy milk, but I think almond milk would work well. Just keep in mind that your fudge pops may not be as rich and creamy. Let me know if you have made dairy-free Fudgesicles with this recipe!
Can I make a sugar-free version?
Yes! Many stores will carry a sugar-free chocolate pudding so you everyone can enjoy this cool treat!
Are Fudgesicles gluten-free?
These are technically gluten-friendly! If you or someone who will be eating them has a severe allergy, you might want to look for a certified gluten-free pudding mix just to be safe.
How long do Fudgesicles keep?
Store them in the coldest part of your freezer and they will keep for several weeks. I like to remove them from the popsicle mold once they are frozen and store them in a freezer bag. They keep better that way!
Can I make homemade Fudgsicles without a popsicle mold?
Yes! All you need are some small cups like Dixie cups and popsicle sticks. Pour the filling into the cups, then put a popsicle stick into the filling. Freeze overnight. Then remove and eat them just like a popsicle.
How do I remove Fudgesicles from popsicle mold?
Sometimes they get a bit stuck in the mold. The easiest way to get them to release from the mold so they come out easily is to run a little hot water over the outside of the mold. This should help them release easily.
Where does the Fudgesicle come from?
Fun fact! In 1946, Popsicle released it’s famous Fudgesicle, the first ever popsicle made with chocolate.
Now that you know how to make Fudgesicles with pudding mix you’ll want to make them on repeat! They are the best frozen chocolate treat on a hot summer day. Pick up some pudding mix at the grocery store this week and give them a try. I know you’ll love them!
