Popsicles – dare we say they’re better than ice cream?! They’re super easy to make at home (although the Ninja CREAMi sure is giving popsicle molds a run for their money – check out these 8 yummy recipes), easy to customize, and so fun for kids to help with!

We’ve been making popsicles at home for years. My boys are now 9 and 11, and while they still like helping, they’re also starting to pitch in with ideas, including the Cookies and Cream Popsicle recipe below. My 11 year old suggested it as a tweak to a recipe I found in the recipe box I inherited from my grandma, and they’re probably my favorite we’ve ever made!

Cookies and Cream Popsicles

SO easy and delicious, with just 4 ingredients. You can easily customize this recipe with any pudding flavor you like!

Prep Time 5 minutes
Freezing Time 5 hours
Servings 10 3 oz popsicles
Author Steph Dekker

Ingredients

  • 1 C Milk
  • 1 C Heavy Cream can substitute 2 cups milk if you prefer
  • 1 pkg Vanilla Pudding small box
  • 15 Oreos broken into pieces

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients together. Pour into popsicle mold, insert sticks, freeze for a minimum of 5 hours.

Recipe Notes

You can substitute 2 Cups of Milk rather than 1 Cup milk + 1 Cup Heavy Cream – popsicles may not turn out as creamy this way, but still yummy if you don’t have Heavy Cream on hand!

Fresh Fruit Juice Popsicles

Use store bought or homemade juice of any flavor – Simply pour into the mold and freeze! Our favorite is to use the grape juice we make and preserve each Fall.
