Toots and I like coconut ice cream, and very much enjoy several brands of coconut popsicles - paletas. However, the ones we like are rather spendy, and most that we've tried we don't like very much. So, I thought I'd make our own.

I've checked numerous recipes on the web, found a few that look interesting, and may incorportate several deas into my own creation. However, checking in here seemed like a good idea. Has anyone made this dessert? Any interesting ideas or recipes? Thanks!

I have about 1 c. of coconut milk left from a recipe. Can I mix that with lemonade to make a coconut-lemon popsicle? Meaning - will the milk and watery lemonade stay mixed?

Don't see why not? (I hear Kerry Beal's voice in my head saying..."Try it.") Add a bit of Tequila while you are at it, why don't you?

Puerto Ricans make a coconut ice that is out of this world. Back in my day, the old Latino men used to come to the street corners in Alphabet City, with their carts of the frozen treat.

Look on Latino websites to see if there's a recipe for it.
