One of my favorites paletas or popsicles are Paletas de Coco con Bocadillo. I loved to eat them when I was growing up in Colombia. Now I love to make popsicles during the summer for my family. And to me, homemade popsicles are not only refreshing and easy to make, but they are absolutely delicious.
About 80% of my recipe development happens at night while lying in bed thinking about some of my favorite childhood foods. That is when these popsicles came to mind. Do you remember enjoying paletas or popsicles when you were a kid? I do. Enjoy!
Ingredients
(6 popsicles)
1 can (15 oz )coconut milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (15 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup guava paste, diced
Directions
1. Place all the ingredient in a blender, except the guava paste, and blend until well combined.
2.Place a couple of guava paste pieces into popsicle molds or paper cups. Pour the coconut mixture into the molds.
3. If using cups, you’ll need to insert wooden popsicle sticks. Freeze for about 4 hours, or until firm.

This is like a bowl of rich, luscious ice cream on a stick! I love the little bit of guava that’s revealed – like a sweet surprise. What a perfect finish after a summer meal.
Yum! This does look so refreshing and good. I love using guava paste. I could sit and eat it all by itself, but this way is better! I have all the stuff to make it except the molds.
Lyndsey-You can use paper cups.
This is so creative with the chuncks of guava paste. Today is a scorcher and would not mind having one of these to cool me off and make me forget about my diet.

I am loving all your tropical and delicious popsicle recipes!
This is so tropical and so right for the 100 degrees we are having here. your recipes make me nostalgic for all stuffs good from home
I think I mess up. Today I went down and got the coco milk from the fish store. I had to get to 250 gr bag. Which I used 3/4 of one of the bags. All I taste is the vanilla. Its good but I can’t taste the coco. Maybe it was a cheap kind. It was 600 pesos a bag….
Beautiful pics post. Look delicious and sounds really good! Great for Thailand weather and we have all the ingredients here. I do enjoy this “I-Tim” (Ice Cream) also. AWESOME!! ;D
Oh my, this just sounds so tasty. The perfect treat to eat on a hot day. You are in for bliss! Yum!
I take it back my family loved them… They want to know if you have more flavors!!
Esta receta esta fabulosa! Eres genio, te juro. Yo me acuerdo de las paletas tan ricas de todas la frutas imaginables…pero te juro que nunca vi de dulce de guayaba…no se. Tal vez en Cali era demasiado la pasion por las de mango biche…
En todo caso, una preguntica: queda masticable la pasta de guayaba congelada??
Silvia- Queda masticable y son deliciosas.
Gracias por tu respuesta! Que delicia….
MUST find those popsicle making sticks you used in your photos, that really makes it perfect.
