Sweet Potato Pops [Recipe + Video] Helado de Batata y Coco
Known as paleta de batata or helado de batata, these sweet potato pops are so easy to make, refreshing, and nutritious that you'll eat them all summer.
Cut the sweet potatoes into small pieces. Boil over medium heat in salted water until it's fork-tender. Remove from the water, discard water, and let the batata cool to room temperature. Once cool mash a bit (only necessary if you don't have a strong blender).
Blend
In the blender container, mix sweet potatoes, milk, coconut milk, vanilla, and sugar. Blend to a liquid state. Taste and add more sugar to taste if you find it necessary (I did not).
Freeze
Pour into the popsicle molds (Amazon affiliate links) or little paper cups, cover, and insert popsicle sticks int he center of each mold. Freeze solid. Serve once frozen.
