Although it certainly doesn’t feel like spring here in Ohio (it’s 40 degrees today), I’m craving desserts with spring flavors! I can’t wait until the market is overflowing with juicy, ripe strawberries and stunning stalks of rhubarb.
Warmer weather always ignites my obsession with popsicles and my beloved Fruit Roll-Ups get relegated to the bottom of the treat hierarchy. I’m not afraid to admit that even at 32 years old, I can hoover through freeze pops and bomb pops like they are going out of style.
However, I do prefer homemade pops that are brimming with seasonal ingredients. Luckily, I have a Zoku Quick Pop Maker, so I can pretty much go from having a craving to eating a homemade popsicle in about 10 minutes.
As I mentioned earlier in the week, I tried desperately to hide the remaining boxes of Girl Scout Cookies from myself, but it simply didn’t work out so well. In fact, the strategically placed a box of Somoas that were “hidden” in my pantry were haunting me in my sleep. I pondered the thought of incorporating that coconut-chocolate-caramel goodness into something gloriously delicious and had a flash of brilliance- a Somoa Popsicle.
As if the layers of coconut cream pie pudding intermixed with crushed Samoa cookies weren’t enough, I did the unthinkable and dipped these babies in Chocolate Magic Shell and finished them with a sprinkling of toasted coconut. Who ever thought a simple popsicle could be so amazing?
Samoa Popsicles
Yield: 6 popsicles
Ingredients:
1 cup pre-made coconut pudding (vanilla will work too)
3/4 cup milk
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 Samoa cookies, finely chopped
Magic Shell
½ cup toasted coconutDirections:
In a medium bowl, combine pudding, milk, and vanilla until thoroughly combined and smooth.
Assemble the pops
1. Insert sticks into the Zoku Quick Pop Maker. Pour 1 ounce of pudding base into each cavity and allow to freeze completely.
2. Pour 2 teaspoons of finely chopped Samoa Cookies directly onto the frozen layer. Use handle of fork to gently pack the cookies into the frozen layer. Pour another layer of the base to the fill line. Let freeze completely, then remove the pops with the Super Tool. Repeat with remaining pops.
3. Working over a bowl, drizzle the Magic Shell over the frozen pops and sprinkle with toasted coconut.Notes:
I have not tested this recipe in a traditional popsicle mold.
If you don’t have Somoa Girl Scout cookies, you can use the Keebler version called Coconut Dreams.

I need these in my life. I still haven’t had a girl scout cookie this season. I resisted them at the Wal-Marts yesterday.
These are so cute! I don’t like samoas or coconut but I love these anyway
Now I need to buy one of these gadgets.
They look amazing and I am sure my grandson would love these. So would grandma. 
That is over-the-top CRAZY!
I’m wishing for one of those cool pop makers! Samoa pops sound yummy- I love the cookie layer in the middle.
Decidence on a stick!
These look so cool!!! And yummy of course
oooh!! I saw that popsicle maker last night at Macys and SSOOOOO want one!! my husband just rolled his eyes but I think if I made him these he would be all for getting one! YUM!!
Would have tasted absolutely heaven…. Looks yum, creamy and crunchy…
wow, I wish I had some spare money to be able to afford that pop maker. I also love these pops, samoas are my favorite girl scout cookie!
A flash of brilliance is right! These look wonderful. Should be standard fare at every girl guide camp-out!
What a great idea. I’m thinking the pop maker should be a giveaway… Just saying.
Oh my, these look fantastic and so very pretty.
These are just genius. The most elegant popsicle I have ever seen!
Very inventive!!!
Wow, I’ve never seen such an amazing looking Popsicle! I’m in awe.
These look crazy good! Awesome recipe
These look amazing, and I’m a total Samoa fiend, that’s why I haven’t bought any this year, I’d go through the whole box in about 10 minutes.
I have one question, how the heck did you get the popsicles to stand up for the photos? Those bases look like they’re rounded.
Gorgeous!!! You are brilliant!
I love it! Girl scout cookies + popsicles= amazing
This is such a fun idea! So inventive. Perfect for a party too.
This is such a creative idea! Love it. Popsicle molds are on my summer “to buy” list for sure
.
This is…brilliant. Brilliant is the only word I have to describe these popsicles.
Yum, this looks absolutely fantastic! Delicious idea.
Those are sooooooo pretty! What a great idea – and lots of fun!
It was over 80 degrees today so I could really go for one of these right now!
I think you have lost you mind!!! But I love it!!
I’m not a big Samoa fan, but these look delicious!
Those look delicious! Very creative idea!
Oooh! I’m excited about this because I got a Zoku for my birthday and didn’t really know what to do with it.
Hey! u took popsicles to whole new level with this. So happy to read there are people who hide things from themselves like I do all the time. And then I get haunted in the sleep. And then I make things that make me fat.
Bestill my heart!!! Wow!
Oh. My. Gosh. Those look amazing. My husband would positively die over them.
I love pudding pops, but the idea of adding Samoas is just brilliant.
Oh my God I think I just died and went to heaven! Samoas are my favorite cookies in the entire world! I NEED THESE RIGHT NOW!
Those are simply stunning! I am awestruck.
Yum! I have never actually made pudding pops before… Definitely going to have to give it a try. Yours look so beautiful!
Oh my I think i may have just died and gone to heaven! These look amazing! I have got to get me one of these popsicle makers asap!
Oh.My.GOODNESS! you have outdone the Dove Bar. Yum. Yum. And yum again.
Brilliant! If I had a quick pop maker, I’d be cranking these babies out right now. Thanks for sharing.
Hello! This is such a great idea! I am definitely trying these popsicles!
And if anyone is searching for a similar, but less expensive version of the Zoku, you can pick up the Xpress Pop Maker at Bed, Bath and Beyond for $30. As far as I can tell, the technology is the same, but it makes 4 slightly smaller pops than the Zoku’s 3 (larger) pops. I have one and LOVE it!
We are seriously eating homemade popsicles everyday at my house, and they’re so much better than store bought!
These look AMAZNG. I pinned these so I can make these over summer break!
Thank you! I really appreciate that you allowed for instant pudding. Almost all of the recipes I’ve found require pudding from scratch. I can’t wait to try this with all kinds of cookies or even without any cookies at all. I LOVE this! Thanks for sharing.
PS
I’m putting mine in the freezer because I don’t mind waiting. I can’t imagine spending so much for a faster appliance…at least not until after I get a fancier coffee maker. We poe folk lol.
How am I only just now finding this. These look amazing!
I am drooling!!!! These look incredible!!!
Thats look yummy i will try this tonight & thank you for the recipe
