Roasted Banana Paletas Recipes

Steps:

• Purée all ingredients together in a blender until smooth. Pour into 4 to 6 molds and freeze until solid.
• Unmold by first running a little cold water over outside of molds, then gently pulling the sticks.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Individually wrap the bananas in foil, without peeling them, and roast for about 30 minutes, until soft. Once the bananas are cool enough to handle, peel and mash in a bowl, adding the brown sugar and stirring until it dissolves. Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and add the remaining ingredients, plus a pinch of salt. Blend until very smooth. Divide the puree among ice pop molds (or paper cups with wooden sticks) and freeze until solid. Lick.

Steps:

• Puree the bananas, sugar, milk, and extract together in a blender until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly among 4 to 6 molds and freeze until solid.
• Unmold by first running a little cold water over outside of molds, then gently pulling the sticks.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wrap the bananas (with their skins still on) in foil individually. Roast until cooked through and soft (use tongs to test), about 30 minutes for bananas and 40 minutes for plantains.
• Let sit just until cool enough to handle. Put the flesh in a bowl, discard the peels, and mash the flesh lightly with a fork. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and stir until the sugars have dissolved.
• Put the banana mixture in a blender. Add the milk, cream, vanilla, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, and rum and blend until smooth. Let cool slightly, then refrigerate until completely chilled.
• If using conventional molds, divide the mixture among the molds, snap on the lid, and freeze until solid, about 5 hours. If using glasses or other unconventional molds, freeze until the pops are beginning to set (1 1/2 to 2 hours), then insert the sticks and freeze until solid, 4 to 5 hours. If using an instant ice pop maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
