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.

Steps:

• Paletas, Mexican popsicles, are a deliciously refreshing treat on a warm day. Only lightly sweetened and made with fresh ingredients, they are a much healthier alternative to popsicles that contain artificial colors, flavors and sweeteners. Paletas can be made from just about any overripe fresh fruit: Strawberries, mangos, watermelon, blueberries, any fruit you like! My family favors the pina-colada flavor. Because of the sweet pineapple juice there is no need to add extra sugar to this frozen treat. Special Hint: Add a squeeze of lime juice to any fruit paleta mixture for a zesty twist! Mixing and making paletas together in the kitchen is great but even better, is fun in the sun together enjoying a cool frozen treat. I hope you enjoy some with your family!
