Tropical Pudding Pops

These Tropical Pudding Pops are creamy, fruity, and packed with sunshine in every bite. Think pineapple, strawberry, kiwi, and coconut blended with smooth vanilla pudding, then frozen into a treat that’s perfect for hot days. They’re kid-friendly, adult-approved, and easy enough to whip together with no cooking and minimal cleanup. Just stir, pour, and freeze.

Tropical Pudding Pops

My kids have been loving the popsicle kick I've been on lately, and this one was a particular favorite. Pudding makes a great base for popsicles, and is sturdy enough to hold the fruit distributed throughout the popsicle so it doesn't all sink to the bottom.

These are filled with fresh strawberries, pineapple, and kiwi. Three of my favorite fruits.
