Creamy Mexican Avocado Paletas
This recipe for avocado popsicles (Mexican avocado paletas) transforms the creamy, nutritious fruit into a sweet dessert by blending it with sweetened condensed milk and regular milk.
As someone who spends a lot of time in my Southern California garden, I find that these easy-to-make frozen treats are a refreshing and unique way to enjoy avocados beyond the usual savory guacamole.
How to Make Refreshing Sweet Avocado Popsicles 🌞
You may be surprised by this flavor combination, but, yes, sweet avocado popsicles are an absolutely delicious frozen treat.
Here in the US, we typically think of avocados as the savory main ingredient of guacamole or the extra topping that turns any dish ‘California style.’
Around the world they have known all along that avocados are a fruit that is also good as a dessert.
Homemade Ice Pops 😍
Years ago, I tried a Mexican avocado paleta that I bought from a street cart, so I knew that I had to try making this delicious frozen treat at home.
The texture is creamy and the rich avocado flavor is enhanced by the sweetened condensed milk.
The popsicles are a sweet dessert, but you still get the good nutrition of the avocados.
These ice pops are easy and fun to make, so they are a wonderful treat to make and eat with your children.
A mini popsicle mold was used for these cute popsicles, but you can also use a full sized mold.
I love having another way to enjoy avocados!
