Even though summer is winding down, frozen Popsicles are always popular with kids. I get weekly recipes sent to me from Cooking Light — and thought these Chocolate Pudding Pops would be a nice change from traditional Popsicles. They were easy to make and the kids (and I) loved it!

First, I combined the milk, sugar, unsweetened cocoa, egg, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring well with a whisk. Cooking for 8 minutes or until thick and bubbly, stirring constantly.

Then I removed the pan from heat, adding 1 teaspoon vanilla and chocolate, stirring until smooth. I transferred the mixture to a bowl; placing the bowl in an ice-filled bowl.

002

I covered the surface of pudding directly with plastic wrap; cool completely. Spooned chocolate mixture evenly into 6 (4-ounce) ice-pop molds. Topping with lid; inserting craft sticks. then I froze them for about 4 hours.

I used the smaller ring pops because that’s what Big A wanted. I ended up halving the recipe. Just a reminder that this is a treat food as it contains added sugar.

For more on how to make ice pops see this article from Cooking Light.

Happy end of summer to you all!
