Few desserts are both rich and refreshing at the same time, but that's what pudding pops do best. They're as creamy as top-notch soft-serve, but light enough to feel just a little bracing on a hot summer's day. In fact, they turn out particularly nice with skim milk, which gives the pops an icy quality that I adore.
