Oreo Mudslide Pudding Pops

One of my go to treats in the summer is pudding pops, they bring me back to the days of my childhood. I've tried a few different versions and I must admit, this oreo mudslide version may be the best one yet. This is a mudslide in pudding pop form. Think your kids would want one, no problem, just skip the alcohol and use more milk. 



First up you need a homemade popsicle maker, once you have that, you just need a box or oreo pudding, milk, baileys and Kahlua and some whipped cream. Actually the whipped cream is optional but it just makes the pops so much creamier.  Your store doesn't carry oreo pudding, no biggie. Just add some crushed oreos to your vanilla pudding. or go for broke and use the chocolate pudding. I mean, be fearless with your pudding lovin' self. 

The key to getting these just right is not using too much alcohol and making sure you freeze them a full 24 hours before you try to pop them out of their molds. I also like to mix these up, sometimes I use chocolate milk, other times I use coffee creamers. Next I think I want to use Godiva instead of Kahlua.

Ingredients
1 cup whipping cream
box oreo pudding
1 cup milk
1 oz baileys
1 oz kahlua
crushed oreos

Directions
beat the whipping cream on low and once it begins to thicken, up the speed. This really doesn't need any extra sugar bc you are mixing it with the pudding. THe last time I made these, I did add about a tsp of baileys and kahlua, just be careful not to add these until the cream has begun to thicken. Once it is fully whipped, set aside. 

In a separate bowl, make the pudding with the milk and alcohol. Whisk together until it begins to thicken and then add in the whip cream. Stir together and then, before it completely sets as a pudding, pour into the molds. If it has gotten too thick to pour, just add a little more milk. 

Do not use too much alcohol or these will not set and they will break apart in the mold. You would probably have to use a fork to get it all out. Not that I would know or anything. 

Once they are set, run the molds under hot water until they release. I crushed up some oreos and dredged the pops in them. Such a perfect and delicious treat.

Strawberry Bourbonade Popsicles

yes, you read that right. Some of my favorite things in one idea. If you have been following this little piece of my world for any sum of time...then you should know about my obsession with my pride and joy...my clearance popsicle maker. Hey, I don't have kids or puppies. Don't you judge me for having lower standards.

This is really simple. And yes, for any of you who are saying "alcohol won't freeze" You would be all kindsa incorrect And since this is bourbon, it is strong in taste, and you know, just strong period. So you do not need much anyways.


Ingredients
1 cup strawberries, chopped small
2 tbsp bourbon
1 1/2 cups lemonade

Makes 2 large or 3 medium popsicles.

place chopped strawberries in a container with lid and add the bourbon, I like to let it soak up overnight, but at least for a few hours. Then the next morning, add to the lemonade. Pour into popsicle mold and freeze for at least 24 hrs, but two days are better.

Enjoy.

and it is just as good to drink if you decide to not freeze it. We made it for a shower and it was delish.

and last week my girl Steph nominated me for an Ivrester award. Which basically is the alcoholics version of a liebster.
