Super sweltering weather last weekend provided the perfect opportunity for making more ice pops, this time Paletas de Aguacate (Avocado Ice Pops),
the creamiest, dreamiest ice pops yet! Ripe avocados are blended with sugar syrup, salt, and lime juice for a burst of Mexican flavor. The recipe is in Paletas, written by Fany Gerson,
author of the amazing My Sweet Mexico (for which she spent an entire year traveling through her native country researching and gathering recipes) and owner of La Newyorkina, a Mexican frozen treats and sweets business in New York City.
According to the recipe introduction, when Fany decided to make avocado paletas for the launch of La Newyorkina, she wasn't sure how they'd be received. But they quickly became a customer favorite, and now I can see (and taste) why. Chido!
