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.

PALETAS DE PLáTANO ROSTIZADO
You're probably familiar with the little tune that announces the ice cream truck is coming down the street. In Mexico, there's a specific whistle (admittedly, not at all pleasant) that lets you know a cart with warm sweet potatoes and plantains is on its way. The purveyors wander through the streets pushing carts that steam the sweet potatoes and plantains in their skins. The whistle is the cry of the steam coming out. For this recipe, you can use either bananas or plantains. Either way, roasting heightens their sweetness and gives them a more complex flavor. If you use plantains, be sure to buy ripe ones: they look black on the outside and feel mushy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wrap the bananas (with their skins still on) in foil individually. Roast until cooked through and soft (use tongs to test), about 30 minutes for bananas and 40 minutes for plantains.
- Let sit just until cool enough to handle. Put the flesh in a bowl, discard the peels, and mash the flesh lightly with a fork. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and stir until the sugars have dissolved.
- Put the banana mixture in a blender. Add the milk, cream, vanilla, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, and rum and blend until smooth. Let cool slightly, then refrigerate until completely chilled.
- If using conventional molds, divide the mixture among the molds, snap on the lid, and freeze until solid, about 5 hours. If using glasses or other unconventional molds, freeze until the pops are beginning to set (1 1/2 to 2 hours), then insert the sticks and freeze until solid, 4 to 5 hours. If using an instant ice pop maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas: To ensure the best flavor and texture, use ripe bananas. Look for bananas with a bright yellow peel and no green tinge.
- Roast the bananas: Roasting the bananas intensifies their natural sweetness and gives them a smoky flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
- Use full-fat coconut milk: Full-fat coconut milk will give the paletas a rich and creamy texture. If you don't have full-fat coconut milk, you can use a mixture of coconut milk and water.
- Add your favorite mix-ins: Feel free to get creative and add your favorite mix-ins to the paletas. Some popular options include chocolate chips, nuts, and fruit.
- Freeze the paletas overnight: For the best results, freeze the paletas overnight. This will allow them to firm up completely.
Conclusion:
Roasted banana paletas are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a sweet and healthy snack, give these roasted banana paletas a try!
