Pumpkin Cheesecake Pudding Pops

Pumpkin!? I’m sure you’re double checking your calendar, did you sleep through Spring and Summer? Is it pumpkin season already? Yes and no. No it’s not fall the traditional time for Pumpkin flavors. Yes its pumpkin season. Why? Because every season can be pumpkin season!

Why? Because pumpkin is a great source of fiber and Vitamin A. It’s a superfood especially since you can use it for so many things like as an add in (Adding it to your morning pancakes) and to help reduce fat in some of your favorite recipes (pumpkin puree instead of oil in a cake mix). It seems like if you can think it Pumpkin Can do it! It goes so well with so many dishes both sweet and savory!

Extra pumpkin puree can also be portioned out and stored in the freezer (ice cube trays are perfect for this). Which got me thinking. If it freezes well…I wonder if it tastes just as a good frozen. Challenge excepted. Last year my favorite ice pops that we made were pudding pops. Nice and simple. So I quickly decided I wanted to use some pudding for this recipe, cheesecake pudding to be exact to help replicate a Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffin that I can’t live without. And just like that I had Pumpkin Cheesecake Pudding Pops to make!

These ice pops are so easy to put together, the worst part about it is you have to wait for the ice pops to freeze. But fear not, you can lick the bowl! Which I may or may not have done!

You’ll need 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1 package of cheesecake pudding, 1 cup of Libby’s Pumpkin puree and 1 1/2 cups of milk.

Whisk together in a medium sized bowl.

Spoon into ice pop molds. I used smaller round ice pops that had 8 pops that were about 6oz each. I was left with a little bit of batter. I also crushed some graham crackers and pressed it into the pudding after spooning them into the molds. This is completely optional.

Freeze for 6-8 hours. Freezing time will vary based on your freezer.

And then enjoy!
