This week I’m saying good-bye to summer and welcoming autumn, my favorite season, with these pumpkin popsicles. It’s a little taste of both season’s favorites, those being popsicles and pumpkins, of course.
While I am not a huge fan of pumpkin desserts, Trader Joe’s pumpkin ice cream sandwiches are amazing. A couple of weeks ago I went to Trader Joe’s and I was looking for those ice cream sandwiches, but they were not yet available. They usually have them during the fall season. So, when I came home, I decided to make these Pumpkin Popsicles (Paletas de Calabaza) to satisfy my pumpkin dessert craving.
The pumpkin flavor is awesome and they are very simple to make. The perfect foodie way to say good bye to summer and hello to fall 🙂 Now that I’ve made these, I am actually craving pumpkin treats and I am eating as many as I can find! What’s your favorite pumpkin flavored dessert?
Buen provecho!

My father was from Cartagena Colombia and passed away last week. I discovered your website a few years ago, and had spent the last few years re creating your recipes for dinner whenever I was at home visiting. I just want to say thank you for your site and all the years of yumminess I was able to give my father to remind him of home.

What a great combo of flavors, popsicles and pumpkins, never would have thought of it. Yes indeed today is summer and tomorrow the thermometer will be reading fall for the long run.
