Piña Colada & Cherry Popsicles

May 29, 2021

Creamy, fruity popsicles. These are the perfect summertime treat.

A note from Chef Ivan:

Warm weather is coming, and I have two obsessions: ice cream and popsicles (or paletas, the way we call them in Mexico). Ice cream and popsicles solve everything, and these are delicious and so easy to make. The coconut milk gives them a creamy texture, it is like having a virgin piña colada with a twist.
