- Mixing bowls: You’ll need a few mixing bowls to prepare the pudding mixture and mix in the food coloring.
- Whisk or electric mixer: A whisk or electric mixer will help you combine the pudding mix with the milk and create a smooth, creamy texture.
- Measuring cups and spoons: You’ll need measuring cups and spoons to measure out the milk.
- Piping Bag: Use a piping bag to fill the molds with the pudding and milk mixture. This is the easiest way to fill them without a mess.

If you don’t have popsicle molds, don’t worry – you can use paper cups (Dixie cups) and a popsicle stick instead. For example, the mold I used didn’t come with sticks, so I used wooden sticks instead.

How to Make Pudding Pops With A Rainbow
Follow along below with these easy steps to learn how to make rainbow popsicles with cheesecake pudding mix, milk, and food coloring.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cheesecake pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and creamy.
Divide the pudding mixture into six smaller bowls (or however many colors you want to make).
Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl, one color per bowl. Use a spoon or whisk to mix the food coloring into the pudding mixture until fully combined.
Now it’s time to start layering your pops! Fill piping bags with six different colors.
Begin by piping a small amount of your first color into the bottom of each popsicle mold, then add the next layer color on top of the first layer. Repeat this process with each color until you’ve filled the mold.
Carefully insert a popsicle stick into each mold, making sure it’s centered in the instant pudding mixture.
Place the molds back in the freezer and completely freeze for at least 8 hours, or until firm.
When the pops are frozen, remove them from the molds by running the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them.
Now you can enjoy your delicious and colorful pudding pop that was fun and simple to make!
