Paletas

Fall is officially here in New York, and what better way to say good bye to warm days then with a paleta? I stopped by the Hester Street Fair for La Newyorkina's famous paletas. Because it was their last day, paletero Fany Gerson was giving out two for ones.
The Bandera (Mexican Flag): Avocado, Coconut, and Strawberry
My complimentary paleta de coco fresco, check out the chunks of coconut!
I am so enamored with Fany Gerson's book on Paletas. There is nothing quite like the sublime activity of licking a paleta under the warm Mexico sun. I want to recreate that feeling here in my Brooklyn apartment with paletas de aguacate.
The ever versatile avocado! Blended with water and sugar and frozen in a cute rocket shape mold. I can't wait to make more delicious treats from this beautiful book.
