1-1/2 cups lowfat milk
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/3 cup caramel ice cream topping at
room temperature
6 (3 ounce) plastic or paper cups or
6 (2.5 ounce) freezer pop molds
6 popsicle sticks
Recipe
Combine sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan and gradually whisk in milk. Simmer over medium heat until thickened, about 2 minutes, whisking frequently.
Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Transfer to a large shallow bowl; place in refrigerator for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of caramel topping randomly over
pudding. Gently swirl into pudding. Spoon mixture into plastic cups; place cups in an 8-inch baking pan or pie pan. Place popsicle sticks in centers. Freeze until firm.
Variation
For pudding, refrigerate after swirling in caramel topping. Serve chilled topped with additional milk, if desired.
