Paletas De Aguacate (Avocado Ice Pops)

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 small ripe avocados
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

Recipe

• 1 Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil and the sugar has dissolved. Let cool to room temperature.
• 2 Cut the avocados in half lengthwise. Remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a blender, along with the cooled syrup and salt. Blend until smooth, scraping the sides as needed. Add the lime juice and blend just until combined.
• 3 If using conventional molds, divide the mixture among the molds, snap on the lid, and freeze until solid, about 5 hours. If using glasses or other unconventional molds, freeze until the pops are beginning to set (1 1/2 to 2 hours), then insert the sticks and freeze until solid, 4 to 5 hours. If using an instant ice pop maker, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
