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.

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.
