In reply to Caroline's Cooking. Do you use Hass avacados? Or the large ones?

In reply to D. I don't know that either would be thick enough, they are both very thin and this is really best made with the thicker coconut milk for a creamier texture. Maybe a mix of almond milk and some heavy cream (say around 1/4 of total milk amount), if dairy is OK for you?

Could I use Almond milk or soy milk instead of coconut milk? I cannot eat coconuts.

In reply to Susan. So as I mention above, it's a coconut milk that's still relatively thick, but tends not to separate out as canned coconut milk can. I used to be able to find it easily in my local supermarket but less so recently. It's usually in a resealable pouch rather than a can. As I say, if you can't find it I'd suggest using a can, just mix it up before using so you don't get all thick or thin.

What is unsweetened culinary coconut milk and where do you get it?

I saw your response too late and went ahead with a 1/2 cup juice and my first batch was *super* sour! I tempered it a little by adding more water and honey. They were still on the sour side but very tasty, so I'm back here to say I just finished making my second batch! This time I had key limes on hand so again couldn't follow the recipe as written; also because of enjoying such tart pops the first time I think I made mine again on the lime-y side. I used about a 1/4 cup of juice. Also, our local avocados are a lot bigger than the Haas variety; I just used one of those if anyone has a similar type in their yard. I can't wait till the pops are ready! Thank you so much for this easy, yummy recipe.

In reply to Gabrielle. Sorry, it's actually the juice of half a lime, it's just not so easy to write it that way in the recipe card but I've added that in the notes to make it a bit clearer. Hope you make and enjoy!

Hi there, the ingredient list says 1/2 lime juice. Is this meant to be a 1/2 a cup? Thanks.

I am going to make these for my grandchildren when they come to visit this summer! Refreshing, healthy and they already love and enjoy every ingredient at their homes already!
Perfecto!

In reply to Carlee. Thanks Carlee, I definitely need to try my hand at one with chili in at some point. But these are great, and the avocado makes them so creamy.

In reply to Wendy Klik. You know, I am not sure I can quite picture orange sherbet but you may be right. What I do know is they're really tasty!

I want to try all the paletas you mentioned! I can just imagine how smooth and creamy the avocado makes these and I can't wait to try them!

I bet these would be perfect on a warm summer day. Heck, i think they would be perfect no matter what season it was.

Oh my goodness. I can't wait to try these. In my mind I feel like they would be the consistency of orange sherbet.
