Paleta de Papaya y Coco (Papaya and Coconut Popsicle)
Fresh papaya, lime juice, and cream of coconut make for beautiful, refreshing, and delicious paletas.
Servings: 6 popsicles
Ingredients
- 1 small papaya peeled, seeded, and cubed
- ¼ cup water
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
- 2 ounces cream of coconut
- popsicle molds or small plastic cups
- popsicle sticks
- foil
Instructions
- Blend all the ingredients together.
- In plastic cups or popsicle molds add 5 ounces of papaya mixture.
- If using small plastic cups or popsicle molds freeze for about 2 hours or until the liquid starts to solidify. At this point, you can add a popsicle stick and it will stay upright. If you want to add popsicle sticks immediately then place a piece of foil over each cup, pierce a small slit in the foil and insert a popsicle stick. This will allow the stick to stand upright as it freezes.
- Releasing the popsicle from the cup or mold will require that you run hot water briefly on the outside of the cup or mold, about 5 seconds.
Notes
If you cannot find cream of coconut, refrigerate cans of full-fat coconut milk and use only the solid cream that gathers on top.
