Ingredients:

3.4 oz pkg vanilla instant pudding

1 3/4 cups + 1 tbsp milk

1/4 cup strawberry pie filling, mashed (can sub mashed fresh berries or dessert topping)

1/4 cup crushed pineapple, drained

2 tbsp chocolate or fudge sauce

1/2 cup banana, mashed (aprx 1 small)

Directions:

1.  Get ready a popsicle mold and handles/sticks.  This recipe makes ten standard pops.  Set out 5 medium bowls.  These bowls will be referred to as: vanilla bowl, strawberry bowl, pineapple bowl, chocolate bowl, and banana bowl.

2.  Measure the dry pudding mix as follows: 2 tbsp in the vanilla bowl, 1 tbsp in the strawberry bowl, 2 tbsp in the pineapple bowl, 1 tbsp in the chocolate bowl, 1 tbsp in the banana bowl.

3.  Pour 1/2 cup of milk into the vanilla bowl.  Whisk until thickened (1-2 minutes).  Distribute evenly among the popsicle cavities (1 tbsp each).

4.  Pour 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp of milk into the strawberry bowl.  Add 1/4 cup mashed strawberries.  Whisk until thickened (1-2 minutes).  Distribute evenly among the popsicle cavities (1 tbsp each).

5.  Pour 1/4 cup milk into the pineapple bowl.  Add 1/4 cup crushed pineapple.  Whisk until thickened (1-2 minutes).  Distribute evenly among the popsicle cavities (1 tbsp each).

6.  Pour 1/4 cup + 3 tbsp milk into the chocolate bowl.  Add 2 tbsp chocolate sauce.  Whisk until thickened (1-2 minutes).  Distribute evenly among the popsicle cavities (1 tbsp each).

7.  Pour 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp of milk into the banana bowl.  Add 1/4 cup mashed banana.  Whisk until thickened (1-2 minutes).  Distribute evenly among the popsicle cavities (1 tbsp each).

8.  Insert handles/sticks.  Cover and freeze until completely frozen solid (if you try to unmold too soon, the handles will pull out of the parfrozen centers).

9.  Hold the mold under hot running water.  Try to loosen the pops.  Repeat until you can remove the pops from the mold.  

10.  Serve!  Garnish with whipped cream and/or maraschino cherries if you'd like.
