Pineapple Express: Las Paletas and Popsicles
Okay, so my short break turned into a not-so-short-break. What have I been doing in these 3-digit days of summer? I've been perfecting my Popsicle and Paleta. I purchased some Groovy Pop Molds from Distinctive Decor which is a great online kitchen store with a shop in Duncan,OK. I've been trying to keep cool by trying out new frozen concoctions.
General Pops and Paletas Tips:
Dissolve sugar and fruit together on low heat so isn't grainy (let it cool)
Run your mold under hot water for 10-20 seconds to help it pop out smoothly.
A good Smoothie makes a great "popletas."
Pineapple Express Paletas:
Blend until smooth:
2 cups pineapple (preferably fresh-cut)
1 cup Greek or vanilla yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons of honey
Then add 1 more cup of pineapple and pulse a few times. Pour into molds (leave about a half inch open at the bottom and freeze about 3 hours
Side Note: You can also scratch the yogurt and add 1/2 cup of sugar 1/2 cup water instead, just leave out the honey or it will be to sweet.
More Recipes:
Strawberry -
Paletas: Authentic Recipes is on my wish list right now. I've already used my sneak peek to make the recipe for "Strawberry Ice Pops"
Simple Banana -
Banana Paletas from My Recipes can be whipped up quickly and taste great.
"In a 2-cup glass measure, combine 1 cup milk, 3/4 cup smoothly mashed ripe banana, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/4 cup sugar; stir until sugar is dissolved (mixture is no longer grainy to taste). Per paleta: 85 cal"
Lazy Girl Pudding Pops:
Step 1 Put instant pudding mix, 2 cups of cold milk in a air tight Tupperwareish dish.
Step 2 Shake it.
Step 3 Pour it in "groovy molds" and wait for it to freeze.
I'm pretty sure since I use sugar free/fat free pudding mix and 2% milk I burn the calories off for one ice pop in step 2, but that's just my theory.
