Orange Push Pop Pudding

Orange Push Pop Pudding is a nostalgic, creamy dessert inspired by those classic orange Creamsicle-style push pops from childhood. It combines sweet citrus and vanilla flavors in a smooth pudding, often layered or served in clear cups (or even actual push pop molds, if you have them).

🥣 Ingredients:

For the Orange Layer:

• 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix

• 1½ cups cold milk

• 1 cup orange juice (fresh or from concentrate)

• Zest of ½ an orange (optional, for extra flavor)

• ½ cup vanilla yogurt, sour cream, or additional pudding

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

🔧 Instructions:

1. Make the Orange Pudding:

   • Add orange zest and food coloring, if using.

   • Chill for 5–10 minutes until thickened.

2. Make the Cream Layer:

   • In a separate bowl, mix whipped topping with yogurt (or more pudding) and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.

3. Assemble:

   • In clear cups, layer orange pudding and cream mixture alternately.

   • Optional: Swirl slightly with a toothpick for a marbled look.

   • Top with orange sprinkles, whipped cream, or a mini orange slice if desired.

🧊 Optional Presentation Ideas:

• Freeze slightly to make a creamsicle pudding pop.

• Use orange gelatin (Jell-O) for a firmer base layer if layering with pudding.
