Instructions for Tropical Popsicles
The instant pudding needs to be mixed first and it won't thicken up like normal pudding. That's okay, you don't want it to! The pudding mix, milk and pineapple juice will be mixed together and you will let it sit for 3 minutes.
The mixture will be poured into the popsicle molds. The strawberries will then be added.
Substitutions
The almond milk can be substituted for regular milk. If you do, you may want to add a dash of vanilla for a little extra vanilla flavor.
Variations
Want to add a little more flair?
- Orange juice - instead of pineapple
- Kiwi - use kiwi in place of or in addition to strawberries
- Coconut - add shredded coconut to the popsicle mixture
Storage
These popsicles need to be kept frozen. They can be kept frozen for up to two weeks, covered.
Top tip
Sometimes popsicle molds come with sticks and sometimes they don't. I like to use old fashioned popsicle sticks. However, they will fall to the side if you place them in the molds to earlier. To prevent that, let the popsicles freeze for an hour, then place the sticks in the popsicles. The popsicles will be frozen enough to keep the sticks in place.
