Ultimate Coconut Vanilla Pudding Pops: Easy Homemade Frozen Treats with Silk Coconutmilk
There’s a special joy that comes with creating homemade frozen treats, and lately, I’ve become absolutely captivated by making popsicles. Ever since I invested in my very first popsicle mold a few weeks ago, my freezer has been perpetually stocked with a delightful assortment of icy delights. There’s something incredibly satisfying about crafting these refreshing desserts from scratch, especially as the weather warms up and the craving for a cool, creamy indulgence sets in.
Beyond my newfound popsicle obsession, I’m equally passionate about Silk plant-based milks. My journey with Silk began with their almond milk, and it was love at first sip. The rich, creamy texture and delightful flavor instantly won me over, making it a beverage I genuinely *want* to drink, unlike traditional dairy milk which I often struggle to enjoy. So, when I discovered Silk’s Coconutmilk, my excitement was through the roof! As a long-time enthusiast of all things coconut, I knew this was a product I had to try.
Unsurprisingly, Silk Coconutmilk proved to be an absolute delight. It’s incredibly creamy, boasts a rich consistency, and carries a subtle, natural coconut flavor that is simply irresistible. I find myself reaching for it constantly, whether it’s poured over my morning cereal, blended into a vibrant smoothie, or substituted into virtually any recipe that calls for milk. And I’ll confess, sometimes, when no one’s looking, I even enjoy a refreshing gulp straight from the carton – it’s that good! 😉
But Silk Coconutmilk isn’t just about delicious taste; it also comes with impressive nutritional benefits. Each serving contains 50% more calcium than traditional dairy milk, making it an excellent choice for bone health. Plus, with only 80 calories per serving, it’s a lighter option that doesn’t compromise on flavor or creaminess. This makes it a smart and satisfying addition to any diet, especially for those looking for plant-based alternatives or simply aiming to reduce their dairy intake.

With just a few basic ingredients and a trusty set of popsicle molds, you can whip up a batch of creamy, dreamy pudding pops in mere minutes.

Ingredients
- 3 cups Silk Coconutmilk
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, off heat, combine granulated sugar, salt, and cornstarch. Gradually whisk in the Silk Coconutmilk, continuing to mix until all ingredients are fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Finally, whisk in the egg yolks until well incorporated.
-
Place the saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly to prevent sticking. Continue cooking until the mixture just begins to bubble gently around the edges. Reduce the heat to low and continue to whisk and cook for exactly 1 minute longer to ensure it thickens properly. Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately.
-
Carefully pour the hot pudding mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean medium bowl. This step ensures a silky-smooth texture, free of any lumps. Stir in the vanilla extract until thoroughly combined. Divide the warm pudding mixture evenly among your popsicle molds. Chill the filled molds in the refrigerator for one hour to allow them to cool slightly before inserting the popsicle sticks. Then, transfer the molds to the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours, or until they are completely frozen solid. These pudding pops can be stored in the freezer for up to two weeks, providing a convenient and delicious treat whenever a craving strikes.
-
When ready to enjoy, run the popsicle molds under warm water for a few seconds to gently loosen and release the creamy pudding pops. Pull them out, and savor every refreshing bite! (This recipe typically yields about 8-10 popsicles, depending on the size of your molds).
