What was something fun that I could make for my niece and nephew in the midst of a really hot summer? Why, pudding pops of course! I say that as though I had actually made some before…. 🙂
Adding the cherries was a last minute decision, and I am so glad I did! Absolutely delicious!! Perfect compliment to the vanilla!
I am not sure who loved them more….the kids or me! The three of us finished them all off in one morning (yes, I did say morning)…to our credit though, they were quite small! 😉
So, since we loved them oh so much, I had a feeling that you fellow party goers would too. Enjoy these cool treats Fiesta Friday friends! See you at Angie’s place!
Angie, as always, thank you! And to you Julianna and Elaine….excited you are co-hosting this week! Let the party begin! 🙂
Cherry Vanilla Pudding Pops
*Created by Lori at Creating Beauty in the Kitchen
Ingredients:
- 1 can of thickened, refrigerated coconut milk
- Honey (to taste)
- Pure vanilla extract (to taste)
- Fresh Cherries
Directions:
- Make pudding by combing coconut milk, honey, and vanilla. Combine with hand mixer. If it is not thick enough yet, put in freezer or refrigerator for a while.
- Meanwhile, wash and chop your cherries into small pieces.
- Then, when it is ready, pour the pudding a little at a time into little cups or a mold, layering with some cherries, then more pudding, then more cherries, etc.
- I had to put the pops in the freezer for about an hour before I could put the sticks in. Once the sticks are placed in the middle of each pop, let freeze over night.
Come join the party!

Hey Lori! Vanilla Pudding Pops? Oh this sounds like the perfect treat for your hot weather! I love the idea of the cherries you added to make them even more summery! I hope you brought a ton of them because you know they are going to disappear quickly with our hungry FF gang! Happy Fiesta Friday to you my friend! 😀

Okay! That’s why they were finished in a flash – these are so small. I think I could finish one in two bites. 😀 The addition of the cherries sound good, Lori. The sun is striking hot outside and I could use some of these. Happy FF21 to you! ❤
