I have gotten a silicone mold for 10 frozen pops or ice cream sticks. Does anyone have a tried-and-true recipe on how to make fudge yogurt ones. I don't want anything to be 'icy' but softer and creamy smooth.
I tried a test batch using 3 cups of my homemade yogurt and 1/2 cup chocolate instant pudding mix. They are not bad but would like them to be softer.

Try adding cocoa and sweetener to yogurt. I make sugar free ice cream a lot. Add different flavors...peppermint, strawberry, horchata, cocoa...
per serving:
1 cup half n half
1/4 cup Splenda
(for chocolate add 1 tablespoon cocoa per serving)

- 1 teaspoon vanilla per batch

I don't know if there is a way to make them just like packaged. I think there are additives to make that creamy feel. I tried making ice cream in one of those cuisinart ice cream makers. The first time we ate it out of the machine it was delicious. Then froze the rest into a solid block that never got creamy again, just melted. I will follow this thread to see if there is a solution.

Anyone remember years ago when they used to have Pudding Pops in the ice cream department of the store. This is a copy cat recipe from the Copy Cat books. Pudding Pops: 1 package chocolate (or vanilla) instant pudding mix, 1 1/2 cups milk,
2 cups Cool Whip. Using wire whisk, stir pudding mix into milk. Whip in Cool Whip. Spoon into your favorite molds or spoon into
3 oz. Dixie cups and insert popsicle sticks. Freeze.

Thank you, gals, for your input. I just did a search for DIY pudding pops and came up with a number of ones that I just printed out. Now I have one for instant pudding and also one with chocolate chips, milk and Greek yogurt.
Am off to the kitchen to gather items to make a test batch.
