Ingredients
- 2 cups pineapple chunks
- 1 medium banana peeled and cut into chunks
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 cup coconut cream
- ⅛ tsp salt
Instructions
- Put the pineapple, maple syrup, salt and banana in a liquidizer or a food processor.
- Whizz the whole thing till you get a nice smooth consistency.
- Strain the liquid if you feel that there are pineapple fibers.
- Add the coconut cream and mix it well.
- Pour the mixture into the molds cover it, insert the sticks and put it in the freezer.
- The paletas will be ready in 3 to 4 hours time.
- Run warm water over the molds.
- Remove the paleta from the mold and serve.
Notes
- Add honey or any sweetener of your choice instead of maple syrup.
- Taste the mixture, if need be add a bit of sugar. We didn't add any as we got the
- sweetness from the syrup and banana.
- Instead of coconut cream add fresh cream, thick yogurt or condensed milk. If you use condensed milk, do not add any sweetener.
- If you use tinned pineapples for this recipe then you may need less sweetener. Taste before adding the required amount as tinned pineapples tend to be sweet.
