Pudding Popsicles

These are delicious!  Creamy and rich with many possiblities.

Here is what you need:

1 small pkg instant chocolate pudding
1 3/4 cup half and half
10 Oreos, crushed

Mix together the pudding and half and half with a wire whisk.  Have your kids crush 10 Oreos in a Ziploc bag, by hitting the Oreos with a spoon.  Pour the Oreos in the pudding and stir.  Spoon the mixture into your popsicle maker or in small cups with popsicle sticks.  Freeze.  To get them out of the popsicle molds you can run warm water on the outside of the container.

Variations with this recipe:

Try using the mint, peanut butter or chocolate Oreos.  Try different variations of pudding such as cheesecake pudding with blueberries or strawberries (July is national blueberry month), banana pudding with crushed vanilla wafers, or vanilla pudding with diced bananas and strawberries.



Yogurt Pie ~ June is National Dairy Month

This pie is so easy and very good.

All you need is:
1 graham cracker pie crust
1 container of Cool Whip
2 (6 oz) containers of yogurt, any kind (I used Key Lime Pie)

In a large bowl mix together the Cool Whip and yogurts.  Once it has been mixed thoroughly, pour mixture in the pie crust.  Refrigerate for a couple of hours and then serve.

Just think of all the possiblities...strawberry yogurt and fresh strawberries, orange creme yogurt, lemon yogurt, banana cream yogurt, chocolate mousse yogurt with an Oreo pie crust.  Post a comment and let us know what you try.

Enjoy!

June is also National Dairy Month

Your kids will enjoy this cute video that will teach them how milk really gets to our grocery store.

Add some dairy to your diet with this dessert:

Purchase a premade Angel Food Cake, slice it and top it with strawberry yogurt and freshly sliced strawberries.  For my kids I cut the Angel Food Cake into cubes and put them in a bowl so that it is easier for them to eat.
