Ingredients
To make these delicious sugar-free Jello pudding pops, you’ll need:
- 1 small box of Sugar-Free Jello Instant Pudding
- 2 cups of low-fat milk (we used Lactaid)
- 1 Ziploc baggie
- Scissors

How to Make Sugar-Free Jello Pudding Pops
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk and the sugar-free Jello Instant Pudding mix until it thickens. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes of whisking.
- Transfer to Baggie: Pour the thickened mixture into a Ziploc baggie. Use scissors to cut a small corner off the baggie for easy pouring.
- Fill Molds: Gently squeeze the mixture from the baggie into the popsicle molds. Be careful not to overfill the molds, as the mixture will expand slightly as it freezes.
- Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer and let them set for 4-5 hours, or until completely frozen.
- Serve: To serve, run warm water over the mold to loosen the pops, then gently pull out the Jello pops. Enjoy immediately for a refreshing treat.
Expert Tips
- Use whole milk for a creamier texture. Whole milk adds a richer flavor and creamier consistency to the pops.
- Add a few drops of vanilla extract for extra flavor. Vanilla enhances the taste and makes the pops even more delightful.
FAQs
Q: Can I use almond milk instead of low-fat milk?
A: Yes, almond milk can be used, but the texture might be slightly different. Almond milk is thinner than cow’s milk, which might result in a less creamy texture.
Q: How long do these pops last in the freezer?
A: They can last up to two weeks if stored properly in an airtight container. Just make sure to keep them sealed to prevent freezer burn.
Q: Can I add fruit to the pops?
A: Absolutely! Adding small pieces of fruit like berries or banana slices can add a delightful twist to your pudding pops.
