COCONUT-PINEAPPLE PALETAS (MEXICAN ICE POP)

Coconut-Pineapple Paletas (Mexican Ice Pop) image

Coconut paletas was always a favorite frozen treat from childhood. The addition of pineapple was an inspiration from my trip to Santa Barbara. I thought it was a great combination, but, of course, you can omit the pineapple if you like. Enjoy!
