Ingredients Needed

When I was growing up in Mexico, we use to drive to a ranch that my parents’ friends had, in the way we would stop in a small village to buy Popsicles and they had avocado Popsicles and I loved them, that was maybe 25 years ago and I haven’t had one since, I am so excited to have come across this recipe and to have all the ingridients in hand! I am making this today! Thanks!
Enjoy them Georgina! I’m glad they brought back memories for you!
Hi. I would love to try these but I was wondering what can I use to replace the sugar and still have the amazing taste? And in what quantity? Thanks!
If you want to use a sugar-free substitute, you totally can. Check the substitution equivalents of the brand you’re using. 🙂
You should be the new spokesperson for the california Avocado board! Hey dorothy, where did you get those popsicle molds from?
I know! I wish I was. 🙂 Those were from Williams Sonoma forever ago. I think they also have them on Amazon!!
I’m having problems with my laptop. So I post my comments from my smart phone.
Love your avocado posts! I married an avocado farmer in California and raised 4 kids on the ranch…now our kids are working with us too! Hoping you look for California avocados in your stores…and if you can’t find them, order some from our farm! http://www.CaliforniaAvocadosDirect.com. I’m going to keep following your avocado adventures!
I’ll so be doing that. Be sure to come back tomorrow, I’ve got another avo post!!!
