This Avocados and Pistachios Paletas {Ice Pops} are super delicious, creamy and easy to make. Perfect to cool off during summer hot days.
The versatility of avocados impresses me!
I am an avocado lover. But to be honest, I’d never imagine that one day was going to use avocados to make something sweet. I was a bit skeptical to add avocados to my sweets combine recipes so I decide to add another of my favorite ingredients: Pistachios {{yum yum yum}}. Let me tell you: It turned out delicious!!
My whole family LOVE these paletas!!!
My little boy, who is a really a super picky eater, loved too. Of course, I did not mention that they were made out of avocado. I have tried for months that he, at least, eat a tiny piece of avocado. Big fail. As soon he sees it he starts gaging… but this time around he did not even notice it {happy dance}.
I think I’ll keep doing unexpected paletas (ice pops) combinations of vegetables and fruits throughout the summer.
Well… whatever it takes to get vitamins and nutrients into my children.
What is the weirdest ice cream, gelato, sorbet or granita flavor you’ve ever tried?
