Paletas are Latin American ice pops made with fresh fruit and they are delicious. Unfortunately, I could not get the ice pops out of the cheap plastic molds that I bought, so my friend and I had to eat them with spoons. They were still eaten, so c'est la vie.
The recipe said to pour warm water over the base of the molds to release the ice pops, but that didn't work. Does anyone know a better way to do this?
Strawberry and Cream Ice Pops
(Paletas de Fresas y Crema)
From: Saveur
Ingredients
1 pound strawberries, hulled
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1. Purée strawberries in a blender or food processor. Set a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and push the mixture through the strainer with a flat spatula, leaving any solid strawberry pieces behind. Pour the mixture into four 3-ounce ice pop molds.
2. Freeze ice pops for at least an hour, until slushy, then put the popsicle stick into the mold. Freeze for about 3 hours more, then remove ice pops from molds by running warm water at the base of each mold.
You don't really need to see a photo of strawberries, but the color looked nice:
