You may think that banana pudding is an odd choice to turn into a popsicle, but you canโt knock them until you try them.
They have the traditional flavors of banana cream pie and are so refreshing and satisfying. While my kids have always loved these, sometimes I think the adults love them more!
Make these in batches ahead of time for your next party or outdoor BBQ – I promise you wonโt be sorry.
What You Need to Make Banana Pudding Pops
Ingredients
Instant vanilla pudding mix
Whole milk – you will want to make sure itโs really cold, so donโt take it out of the frig until you’re ready to make these
Banana – chopped, feel free to use fresh or frozen
Nilla wafer cookies
Heavy cream – keep the cream refrigerated until you are ready to use it
Kitchen Gadgets
Popsicle molds with sticks – if you donโt have a mold with sticks you can use wooden sticks, they work fine too.
Hand Mixer – to make sure we get the cream nice and fluffy
Mixing Bowl – you’ll need 2
Letโs Make Banana Pudding Popsicles!
Start by mixing your pudding in a small bowl, according to the directions on the box. Then add your bananas and some of the Nilla wafers, and set to the side.
In another small bowl, add the cold whipping cream and beat on medium speed until you start seeing stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture, being careful not to over mix.
Spoon the banana pudding into each popsicle mold. Then sprinkle the crushed cookies on top and place the popsicle sticks in. If your popsicles sticks tend to “lean”, freeze the popsicles for about an hour and then place the sticks.
Freeze for 6-8 hours or overnight until they are frozen through.
Remove the popsicles from the mold and enjoy.
Tips for Making
- We recommend chilling your bowl & beaters before whipping the heavy cream.
- Substitute prepared whipped topping for the fresh whipped cream if youโre short on time.
- Serve popsicles over ice to prevent melting.
- You can substitute other pudding flavors and fruits to make more delicious popsicle variations.
- The number of popsicles will vary based on the size of your popsicle molds.
- Run warm water over the molds for 10-15 seconds to easily remove popsicles from the molds.
- To make it easier to serve for a crowd, place them in individual cello bags and you can make them ahead of time. This works well too if you want to make a batch to keep for later.
