Pudding Pop Experiment

What about Jello Gelatin Pops? The fruit flavored ones?

I loved those. If they brought those back, I would cry with happiness.

I just went to two grocery stores to look for these mythical beasts. So far no luck. I wonder if they have made it to the North West yet. Anybody else round here manage to get some?

Ben, I must admit that I've never tasted Jell-O Pudding Pops (they're not sold here in my country but a friend was telling me about these a couple years back and I decided to make them - we do however, get the Jell-Os here) ... anyways I make them for my kids and it seems that by using evaporated milk (not the low fat version) instead of whole milk makes them taste better & creamier, and sending them straight to the freezer from the stovetop makes it smoother too - just like the pudding but frozen. Yumm! Just thought I'd share that with you.

As far as popsicle molds -- I just got a nice set from IKEA last week -- holds 7 pops and cost $1.99, seems sturdy. Why oh why did I only buy one?? Now all I need is a box o' pudding...

In the meantime I am being all healthy: orange juice, frozen banana and yoghurt slush made in blender then frozen in molds to set. The pre-frozen banana takes away the large ice crystal problem. I am currently considering exchanging the yoghurt for coconut milk and some form of alcohol. Any thoughts?

I don't know about coconut milk and alcohol (me no drinkey alcohol ) but we make a dessert here called bubur with coconut milk using green beans, red beans or corn kernels ... with palm sugar added and these 'soupy' desserts are very yummy when frozen. In fact, there are frozen pops in those flavors sold here. At home we don't have to use the pop mold, we make them in a long tube-like plastics about a foot long and an inch diameter. This is even better than the mold as you won't have any drippings.

I love the fight at the end.
