The watermelon pudding pops are a fun summertime treat!
Ingredients
  • 2 packages vanilla instant pudding {prepared according to package directions}
  • red and green neon food coloring
  • chocolate chips
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ½ cup softened cream cheese
  • 1½ cups thawed Cool Whip topping
  • 5 oz. disposable paper cups
Instructions
  1. Prepare the vanilla pudding as directed on the box.
  2. Divide the pudding up into two bowls placing just over half into one of the bowls {for the red} and the rest in a second bowl {for the green}
  3. Add food coloring to desired color. I used approximately 8 drops of food coloring in total for each bowl.
  4. Place 5-6 chocolate chips in the bottom of a cup and add a layer of the red pudding mixture filling up almost half of the cup. Using the back of the spoon, push the pudding down firmly so all of the air spaces are removed. The cups that I used were somewhat translucent so I was able to check that the pudding was filled up all the way around the edges.
  5. Using a toothpick, push a few more chocolate chips down at various depths close to the edges for a few more "seeds". Place in the freezer while you are preparing the next layer.
  6. Beat the cream cheese and sugar until blended. Stir in Cool Whip.
  7. Spread over the red pudding layer filling to approximately ¾ of the cup. Wipe the sides of the cup with a paper towel if there is any excess.
  8. Add a popsicle stick.
  9. Add the green pudding layer to fill the cup. Freeze for 2 hours or until firm.
  10. To release the pudding pops from the cups, run under warm water for a few seconds and push out from the bottom of the cup.
