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!

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??
Erica
Silvia- Queda masticable y son deliciosas.

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....
