Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Ingredients
First things first, gather all your ingredients. It’s best to have everything measured out and ready to go.
Step 2: Mash the Banana
Take your half-ripe banana and mash it until smooth. You want it to blend seamlessly into your yogurt mix.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, mashed banana, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and condensed milk. Whisk until you get a smooth, creamy mixture.
Step 4: Fold in the Nuts
Gently fold in the crushed walnuts. This gives your paletas a nice crunch.
Step 5: Pour into Molds
Carefully spoon the mixture into your popsicle molds. Try to leave a little space at the top as the mixture will expand as it freezes.
Step 6: Freeze
Pop the molds into the freezer for at least 4-5 hours. Overnight is even better if you can wait that long!
Step 7: Coating the Popsicles
Put the HERSHEY’S ZERO SUGAR Sugar-free Dark Chocolate Bar in a microwave-safe glass. Heat it in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring well after each time until the chocolate is completely melted.
Dip the frozen popsicles into the melted chocolate, then quickly roll them in the chopped walnuts. Let the chocolate harden, and repeat the process with the remaining popsicles.
Step 8: Serve
Once frozen, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the paletas. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Here are some pro tips to ensure your paletas are perfect every time:
Use Full-Fat Greek Yogurt: This adds extra creaminess and richness.
Sweeten to Taste: Always taste your mixture before freezing. Adjust the sweetener as needed.
Experiment with Add-Ins: Add fruits, nuts, or even chocolate chips for a fun twist.
Use Silicone Molds: These make it easier to remove the popsicles once frozen.
Don’t Overfill: Leave a little space at the top of your molds to prevent overflow as the mixture freezes.
