Whisk sugar to taste, cornstarch and salt in a large saucepan. Add
milk and whisk until combined. Bring to a boil over medium heat,
whisking occasionally. Boil, whisking constantly, for 1 minute.
Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla.
Put about half the pudding in a food processor or blender and add
bananas. Process until smooth. (Use caution when pureeing hot
liquids.) Stir the mixture back into the remaining pudding.
Divide the mixture among freezer-pop molds. Insert the sticks and
freeze until completely firm, about 6 hours. Dip the molds briefly in
hot water before unmolding.
