These Paletas de Aguacate y Coco (Avocado and Coconut Popsicles) are the perfect refreshing treat for the upcoming summer season! They also come together relatively easily.

Chopped avocados are simply blended until smooth and creamy with coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. The mixture is then transferred to popsicle molds and frozen until solid.

Dipping Paletas de Aguacate y Coco (Mexican Avocado and Coconut Popsicles) into chocolate.

A Few Tips

Gently tap the popsicle molds on the counter after assembling to help remove any air bubbles from the avocado mixture and create more smooth paletas.

I dipped a few of the chilled paletas into melted and slightly cooled dark chocolate (use dairy-free if desired to keep the popsicles vegan). It can also be drizzled over the top.

Sprinkle the dipped popsicles immediately with dried, shredded coconut. The chocolate sets quickly once it hits the cold surface of the popsicle.

After dipping the paletas in the chocolate, I placed them on a parchment-lined baking sheet in the freezer until ready to serve.

For a different flavor, you can squeeze in some lime juice in place of the vanilla extract.

I used these popsicle molds to form the paletas. Don’t have popsicle molds? You can pour the mixture into paper cups and top with popsicle sticks.

Freeze the popsicles until frozen through and well-chilled, at least 4 hours to overnight. Serve immediately after removing from the freezer.
