Banana Fudgesicles

Mix together the first five ingredients in a saucepan. Once combined, bring to a boil over medium heat and stir for one minute, or until the mixture has thickened up. Congratulations, you just made a really quick and easy pudding.

Turn off the heat and stir in the chocolate chips until they have melted completely. Then mix in the mashed banana.

Like a good gravy, this stuff will thicken up fast as it cools down. You can put piece of plastic wrap over it, touching the surface to prevent a skin from forming and stick it in the fridge if you don’t want to make the fudgesicles right away. Otherwise, fill up your molds (I use 6 molds that hold about 1/2 cup each) or Dixie cups with the pudding. Stick the tops on the molds, or put plastic wrap over Dixie cups and stick a popsicle stick through the plastic wrap. The plastic helps to hold the stick upright.
Freeze for at least four hours and enjoy!

Note: If the fudgesicles don’t come out of their molds easily, run a little warm water around the outside and they should pop right out.
