Coconut Ice Pops

These ice pops has been a hit within my family. These are a great summer sensation. What I love about these coconut ice pops is that they remind me of my carefree childhood life and for a few cents I would go to the neighbors house where she had her own little pulperia (small local store) and I would buy (paletas de coco Coconut ice pops). This summer sensation is not only refreshing, but they taste magnificent. The rich taste of tropical coconut and the fine taste of cinnamon is awesome when it hits your tongue.
