Pistachio Chocolate Cherry Pudding Pops Recipes

CHERRY PISTACHIO FUDGE POPS

Steps:

• Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. With the mixer on low, slowly add the confectioners' sugar until well incorporated. Add the pistachio flavoring, vanilla and food coloring and mix well.
• Microwave the white chocolate together with the shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Add the melted chocolate to the cream cheese mixture and mix well. Add the pistachios and dried cherries and mix well.
• Spray 24 ice pop molds or an 8-inch square pan and pour in the fudge. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, then unmold and enjoy.

WHITE CHOCOLATE PISTACHIO CHERRY FUDGE

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-13-inch pan with foil. Heat the marshmallows, sugar, cream, butter and salt in a medium saucepan set over medium heat, stirring constantly until the marshmallows melt and the sugar dissolves. Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the white chocolate chips, vanilla and almond extracts and stir until the chips are completely melted.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, and scatter the cherries and pistachios over the top. Lightly press the toppings into the fudge. Let cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Cut into 1-inch squares.

CREAMY PISTACHIO POPS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the evaporated milk to a simmer until small bubbles form around the circumference of the pot.
• Meanwhile, snip the tops of the tea bags and add to the evaporated milk. Whisk in the cardamom. Once the milk is simmering, turn the heat off, cover and let sit and steep for 30 minutes.
• Strain the evaporated milk into a large bowl. Whisk in the condensed milk, heavy cream and pistachios. Pour the mixture into ice pop molds, small bowls or a large bowl. Cover the bowls with a piece of plastic wrap to avoid freezer burn and the formation of a "skin." Pop them into the freezer and freeze overnight.
• When you're ready to serve, run the ice pop mold under hot water to loosen it. You can do the same thing for the smaller bowls if you'd like to serve it as a little kulfi half dome. Garnish with more nuts if you like and serve.

HEALTHY CHOCOLATE-CHIA PUDDING POPS

Steps:

• Combine the milk, chocolate, cocoa powder, agave and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan and set over medium-low heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the chocolate melts and the cocoa dissolves, 6 to 8 minutes. Pour the chocolate mixture into a medium bowl. Stir in the chia seeds and vanilla. Let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Cover and refrigerate the mixture until chilled and the chia seeds are plumped, about 1 hour more, stirring halfway through.
• Divide the mixture evenly among four 3- to 4-ounce ice pop molds. Freeze until solid, at least 8 hours and up to overnight. Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before unmolding.
• The pops will keep in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

CHOCOLATE CHERRY POPS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and 3 cups milk until smooth and well combined. Stir in the chopped chocolate. In another medium bowl, whisk to combine Cool Whip with 1/4 cup milk. In another small bowl, whisk to combine cherry preserves and 2 tablespoons water.
• Spoon a tablespoon of the pudding into each popsicle mold and top with a spoonful of whipped topping. Pour the pudding mixture halfway up the molds and add a spoonful of preserves. Top off each with remaining pudding, insert popsicle sticks and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Unmold and garnish with shaved chocolate and fresh cherries.

PISTACHIO-CHOCOLATE-CHERRY PUDDING POPS

Steps:

• Follow the directions on the box of your instant pudding mix. (Usually it's to add about 2 cups of milk and whisk until smooth and thickened). Mix in any optional ingredients.
• Scoop the prepared pudding mix into popsicle molds. One prepared box of pudding mix makes around 8 pudding pops, depending on the size. If you don't have a popsicle mould, you can use paper cups with wooden popsicle sticks.
• Place the filled moulds into the freezer and freeze until solid (around 4+ hours).
