Mint Chocolate Chip Pudding Popsicles

You make me melt like a popsicle on the Fourth of July.

When I found out it was National Popsicle Week, I knew I couldn’t let the week go without sharing one of my favorite pudding popsicle recipes!

I am a HUGE mint & chocolate chip fan. Whether it is the Andes mints at Olive Garden, girl scout Thin Mints or mint flavored frozen yogurt; I love them all! Any time I can incorporate that icy minty goodness into anything I jump at the chance. That is how these Mint Chocolate Chip Pudding Popsicles were born!

Making pudding popsicles at home is such a fun & easy activity to do with your family. The pudding takes less than 3 minutes to come together & it takes less than 7 minutes after that to have the popsicles made & in the freezer.

The best part about pudding popsicles is that they do not require long in the freezer. You can enjoy your frozen treats as early as 3-4 hours after making them!

Food coloring dye can be a little tricky. While it may look like you are adding a ton of coloring in after a few drops, when you actually mix it in it may come off very light. I used between 12-20 drops of green food coloring to achieve this light green look. If you want a more intense color I would suggest going closer to 30 drops of dye.

Similar with the mint extract, too much may be overwhelming. Add in the initial teaspoon, mix & taste before adding more in.

Pudding Popsicles Bonus:

The extra dipping of the popsicles into chocolate is completely up to you. I liked having the extra flavor of chocolate in the first few bites!
