BANANA PALETAS
Throughout Mexico, paletas are made with fresh fruit and not much sugar, pretty much the opposite of commercial sorbets and sherbets sold here. Like sorbet or sherbet, these frozen snacks are easily made at home; all you need is a set of plastic molds, sold in many supermarkets, toy stores and online. For a lower-tech solution, you can use small paper cups and insert wooden sticks in them once the mixture freezes hard enough to support them. The dairy is optional. Adding it produces a paleta de leche, which has a more distinctive texture than the dairy-free paleta de agua, which is icier.

BANANA PALETAS
From about .com (Mark Bittman) and posted for ZWT. The term paletas, Spanish for "little stick," describes any sweet ice pop. **Freezing time is NOT included in cook/prep time. You will need popsicle molds for this recipe, or you could use small paper cups. Size/amount will depend on size of molds.

ROASTED BANANA PALETAS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Individually wrap the bananas in foil, without peeling them, and roast for about 30 minutes, until soft. Once the bananas are cool enough to handle, peel and mash in a bowl, adding the brown sugar and stirring until it dissolves. Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and add the remaining ingredients, plus a pinch of salt. Blend until very smooth. Divide the puree among ice pop molds (or paper cups with wooden sticks) and freeze until solid. Lick.
Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your paletas will be.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your paletas will taste. Use fresh fruit, pure vanilla extract, and good quality yogurt.
- Don't overfill the popsicle molds: Leave about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each mold so the paletas have room to expand as they freeze.
- Freeze the paletas for at least 4 hours, or overnight: This will ensure that they are completely frozen and solid.
- To unmold the paletas, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds: This will help loosen the paletas from the molds.
- Serve the paletas immediately, or store them in the freezer for up to 2 weeks: Paletas are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Banana paletas are a delicious, healthy, and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
