Banana Pudding Pops are ice-cold treats that are perfect for summer picnics, cookouts, or desserts. You don’t have to be a kid to love these pops because adults are also crazy about the frozen chunks of bananas and vanilla wafers.

Ingredients You Will Need:

You need only five ingredients and these banana pops are so easy to make!

Fresh bananas: Real fruit flavor can’t be beat
Instant vanilla pudding: Provides the base
Half and half cream: Adds richness
Sour cream or yogurt: Gives the popsicle extra creaminess
Vanilla wafers: It’s not a true banana pudding without them!

Instructions For Perfect Banana Pudding Pops:

These are easy instructions, you’ll love serving them at every gathering!

Prepare the popsicle mold by spraying lightly with cooking spray.
Make pudding by pouring half and half cream into a large bowl. Add pudding mix and whisk until thickened.
Add sour cream or yogurt, then fold in crushed vanilla wafers. Slice one banana into the mix. Mash the other banana into pudding and whisk everything together.
Spoon banana pudding into a popsicle mold and close with a lid. Insert popsicle sticks into the middle of each mold.
Freeze mold for at least 4 hours for best results, preferably overnight.
When pops are solid, rinse the mold with warm water for 10 to 20 seconds. Wiggle them from side to side and they should slide out when tugging on the stick.
Serve popsicles immediately or store them in plastic sandwich bags in the freezer.

Tips:

Make sure you purchase a popsicle mold that works well, made of flexible silicone which helps the pop slide out easier.
Check the sticks after putting the mold in the freezer to make sure they’re straight.
Freeze the mold for at least 4 hours for best results.
To help the pops release, run lukewarm water over the mold for a few seconds. Make sure the water is not too hot or the pops will melt.
Once the popsicles are out of the mold, place them in plastic baggies and store them in the freezer until ready to serve.
Serve over ice to prevent pops from melting.

Feel free to reduce the calories in these pops by using low-fat milk instead of half & half and yogurt instead of sour cream.
