Receta Pinterest Fun Friday:Pudding Pops (37 Calories)
Pinterest is one of my favorite sites. I can spend hours just looking around at all the crafty and innovative ideas that people come up with. It's actually a terrible place for me to waste a lot of time. I can’t tell you how much inspiration I get from Pinterest and how many different pins I have tired. Each Friday I will be featuring something I have crafted, cooked, or found on Pinterest that I love!
Here is a great idea I found on Pinterest that I thought was worth trying... Low Calorie Pudding Pops
I love Jell-O Pudding pops. Growing up in the Cosby Show heyday and Bill Cosby Jell-O Pudding Pop commercials days they became one of my favorite snack. I don’t know if they stopped making them, but I can’t find them anymore. After spending way too many hours on Pinterest one night I came across a great pudding pop easy recipe that is not only delicious but low in calories.
BTW don’t make the mistake I did and buy the Royal sugar free chocolate pudding just because it’s on sale spend a few more pennies for Jell-O the Royal is not as sweet and as you will be able to tell in the pictures it never loses all of its lumps. The flavor was subpar, but when I made them again with Jell-O they were fantastic!
Ingredients:
1 small box of sugar free (or regular) pudding any flavor
2 cups of unsweetened almond milk (or regular)
6 popsicle sticks
6 small cups dixie cups (around 2.5 -3 oz cups)
Add milk and pudding to a bowl and mix until the pudding mix has dissolved. Taste the pudding to make sure it's sweet enough (Royal sugar free pudding was not sweet enough for us but Jell-O was) If it's not sweet enough add sugar substitute and mix until it dissolves.
- Pour 1/3 of a cup of pudding into each cup (like I said before avoid the Royal Pudding because it's lumpy and doesn't have a sweet flavor)
- Place each cup into a holding pan, and cut out six 3x3 squares of tin foil
- Place each cup into a holding pan, and cut out six 3x3 squares of tin foil
With a knife or a pair of scissors cup a small slit in the middle of each piece of the tin foil. I found it easier to do this with the cup already wrapped because then I knew exactly where the middle was going to be.
Add a Popsicle stick to the slit. Place back in the pan and freeze for at least 6 hours to ensure that they are frozen all the way through. Once they are frozen pop them out of the cup and enjoy.
*Variation: Add fruit or nuts to the pudding or add marshmallows to the cup before filling with pudding fill then freeze for one hour then add graham cracker crumbs to bottom by the stick and freeze into solid for a Smore pudding pop.
