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 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.

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.
