Ingredients
Method
- Peel the ripe bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. Mash them until smooth with a few small lumps.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cold milk and the vanilla instant pudding mix for about two minutes until slightly thickened.
- Gently fold the mashed bananas and vanilla extract into the pudding mixture.
- Incorporate the whipped topping or Greek yogurt using a spatula.
- Prepare popsicle molds by dropping a few crushed vanilla wafers into the bottom of each mold.
- Pour the mixture into the molds, leaving about half an inch of space at the top.
- Insert the sticks and tap the molds on the counter to remove air bubbles.
- Freeze for at least six hours or overnight.
- To release, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure to use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness. Store popsicles wrapped in parchment or plastic wrap in a heavy-duty freezer bag for up to three months.
