In this recipe, we will guide you step-by-step to prepare an incredibly creamy and tasty pudding pop, perfect for delighting palates or starting a profitable side business.

Ingredients for Pudding Ice Pops:

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ice cream stabilizer (or “liga neutra”)
• 4 cups (1 quart) whole milk
• 8 cups (2 quarts) water
• 6 tablespoons powdered milk
• 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Start by preparing the base of your ice pops.
2. In a saucepan, mix 2 cups of sugar and 1 tablespoon of ice cream stabilizer. The stabilizer is essential for achieving that perfect creamy texture without icy crystals.
3. Dissolve well and add 4 cups of whole milk and 8 cups of water.
4. Bring to a boil over low heat for two minutes. After this process, turn off the heat and let it cool completely.
5. While the base cools, prepare the caramel. In a separate saucepan, melt 1 cup of sugar until you get a deep amber syrup. Carefully add about 3 tablespoons (50 ml) of water to adjust the consistency. Set aside.
6. Once the base is cool, blend it with the powdered milk and vanilla extract. This mixture will give our pops that signature irresistible flavor.
7. Now, it’s time to assemble. Add a small amount of caramel to each plastic pop bag, then pour in the base using a funnel. Tie the bags securely and place them in the freezer.

Pro Tips:

To ensure high quality, always use whole milk; the fat content is crucial for creaminess. Additionally, choose sturdy, food-grade plastic piping bags (roughly 2×9 inches) to prevent leaks.

Prep Time: The entire process, from base preparation to finishing, takes about 4 hours (including freezing time).

Yield: Approximately 18 units.

Business Insight: The cost per unit is very low, making this a high-margin item if you choose to sell them. We recommend adjusting your price based on local ingredient costs.

Shelf Life: These treats can be stored in a home freezer for up to 30 days, or up to 90 days in a commercial deep freezer.
