Paletas de Coco [Recipe + Video] Coconut Popsicles
Description
Paletas de Coco are traditional coconut popsicles made by combining evaporated milk, coconut milk, sugar, and optional vanilla extract to create a creamy, sweet base. The mixture is stirred until the sugar dissolves, then poured into popsicle molds and frozen for at least six hours. The result is a frozen treat with a smooth texture and a subtle, naturally sweet coconut taste.
The use of both evaporated and coconut milks contributes to a rich mouthfeel without the need for additional cream or eggs. The sugar amount can be adjusted to taste, providing flexibility in sweetness. Once fully frozen, these popsicles can be removed from the molds and enjoyed as a cooling dessert or snack. The recipe requires minimal preparation and no cooking.
