    Paleta de Coco y BocadilloPin

    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!

      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.

      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 have some leftover guava paste and was thinking it would be great in a popsicle. Thanks for posting this, Erica! I love it! I will definitely be making these and adding them in my Popsicle of the Week feature:)

      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....

      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??
