COCONUT POPSICLES (PALETAS DE COCO)

Steps:

• Combine the coconut milk, shredded coconut, condensed milk, and heavy cream in a blender and blend until all the ingredients are mixed. Pour the mixture evenly into each popsicle mold. (I used these). Insert the sticks (if you're mold has slots of inserting sticks). If you're mold does not, freeze the popsicles for 2 hours or until they are semi firm and insert wooden sticks in the center. Continue to freeze for at least an additional 4 hours (overnight is best).
• To remove from mold, run the base of the mold under warm water.

CREAMY COCONUT POPSICLES

Steps:

• Have ready a 10-cup (1/3 cup each) popsicle mold. In a large glass measuring cup, combine heavy cream, coconut milk, cream of coconut, shredded coconut, and salt and whisk to combine. Distribute mixture evenly between molds, whisking mixture a bit between each one, then cover and freeze for 1 hour. Add the popsicle sticks and continue to freeze until solid, at least 8 hours.
• To unmold, briefly dip the mold in hot water a few times just until the pops can be pulled out. Take care not to melt the pops.

COCONUT CREAM FILLING

Steps:

• Place egg yolks in a large bowl; whisk to combine; set bowl aside.
• Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Gradually whisk in milk. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until mixture thickens and comes to a boil, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Whisk 1/2 cup hot milk mixture into the reserved egg yolks to temper. Slowly pour warm yolks into the saucepan, stirring constantly. Cook slowly, stirring, over medium-low heat, until mixture begins to bubble, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in coconut and vanilla.
