FAQs

Can I use fresh homemade pudding instead of mix?

Yes, homemade vanilla pudding can be used instead of pudding mix. Make sure it is fully chilled before blending with the other ingredients to maintain the right texture.

Can I make these without a popsicle mold?

If you don’t have popsicle molds, you can use small paper cups and insert wooden sticks. Just be sure the cups are sturdy enough to hold the mixture while freezing.
