🧁 Ingredients

You only need a few simple ingredients to make these whimsical unicorn pudding cups:

• 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix

• Milk (as directed on the pudding box)

• Food coloring in pastel pink, purple, and teal

💜 Instructions

1. Prepare the pudding: Mix the vanilla pudding according to package directions and divide it evenly into three bowls.

2. Add color: Tint each bowl with a few drops of pastel food coloring — pink, purple, and teal look especially dreamy together!

3. Create the base layer: Spoon crushed blondies or graham cracker crumbs into the bottom of each clear plastic cup.

4. Layer the pudding: Add a spoonful of each pudding color, one at a time, for a beautiful rainbow ombré effect. Repeat the layers if desired.

5. Top with whipped cream: Add a generous swirl of whipped cream on top for the unicorn’s mane.

6. Add ears and horn: Cut mini marshmallows diagonally, paint the centers with pink food coloring, and place them as ears. Stick a small sugar cone in the center for the horn.

7. Sprinkle with magic: Finish with rainbow sprinkles or edible glitter.

🌈 Pro Tips

• Display the unicorn pudding cups on a white or pastel tray for a rainbow party dessert table that looks straight out of a fairytale!

• If you get lots of crumbs on the sides of the cups, wipe them off with a wet paper towel

• Don’t add the whipped cream and sprinkles until you’re ready to serve otherwise it will melt — I learned the hard way on that one

• Water down the food coloring to paint the ears pink

They pair perfectly with Unicorn Trifles, Unicorn Bark, and Unicorn Popcorn Balls for a full unicorn-themed menu.

Unicorn Horn Vanilla Frozen Yogurt Pops (Pink, Purple & Teal)

Looking for a magical unicorn birthday party idea that’s as pretty as it is delicious? These pastel unicorn horn vanilla frozen yogurt pops were the star of my daughter’s birthday party — and they’re surprisingly easy to make! With just a few ingredients and a touch of food coloring, you can create a batch of swirly, dreamy treats that look straight out of a fairy tale.

These DIY unicorn yogurt popsicles are not only fun for kids to make, but they’re also a healthier alternative to traditional ice cream. Perfect for summer birthdays, rainbow parties, or anytime your little one wants a taste of something magical!

✨ Ingredients

• 2 cups plain or vanilla yogurt (I used whole milk yogurt for creaminess)

• 2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

• Food coloring in pink, purple, and teal (gel or liquid)

• Popsicle mold (I used a pastel green mold for an extra whimsical touch)

• Popsicle sticks

🪄 Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Yogurt Base

Start with a large tub of vanilla yogurt. If you prefer your pops a little sweeter, whisk in a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. This forms your creamy base.

(In the photo above, you can see my setup — bowls of vanilla yogurt ready to be transformed into pastel magic!)

Step 2: Divide and Color

Scoop the yogurt into three bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring to each one — pink, purple, and teal. Stir until the colors are soft and even.

💡 Tip: Use pastel shades for that perfect unicorn aesthetic. You can always add more color, but you can’t take it away!

Step 3: Layer the Colors

Spoon small amounts of each color into your popsicle molds, alternating layers for a swirled, rainbow-like effect. Tap the mold gently on the counter to remove air bubbles and create smooth layers.

This step is where the magic happens — no two unicorn horns will look alike!

Step 4: Freeze

Insert the sticks and freeze overnight, or at least 4–6 hours, until solid.

Step 5: Serve & Celebrate!

When it’s party time, run the molds briefly under warm water to release the pops. Arrange them on a platter or display them in a bed of ice for a Pinterest-perfect unicorn dessert table.

At my daughter’s unicorn birthday party, these frozen yogurt pops were an instant hit. The kids loved guessing which color they’d get in each bite, and the pastel swirls matched our unicorn decorations perfectly.
