- Patriotic Pudding Pops representing that red, white, and blue.
Why production on pudding pops ever stopped is still a mystery. Luckily pudding pops are exceedingly easy to make. For Independence Day, these vanilla pudding pops include red and blue berries for additional holiday-ish.
Vanilla Instant Pudding
Milk
Fresh blueberries
Fresh strawberries or raspberries
Spiced Rum or Vodka optional but encouraged
Mix pudding following box instructions. Then add berries to the mix. If you want a little kick in your pudding pops, add some spiced rum to the batter. The warm spices, mixed with creamy pudding, and fresh berries is fan-freaking-tastic.
For freezing, a simple popsicle mold is perfect. Don't use the plastic sticks it comes with though, buy a pack of old-fashioned wooden popsicle sticks.
Freeze at least six hours or overnight. To release popsicles from mold, rinse a little warm water over the outside and pops should slide right out. America! Popsicles! Pudding!
