6paletapopsicle molds that hold about ½ cup each of liquid.
Instructions
In a bowl whisk together the condensed milk and half and half. Whisk in the zest, lemon juice, vanilla, salt and food coloring. Pour mix into a large measuring cup. Get your molds ready.
Add 1 teaspoon of crushed cookies to each mold. Pour in the paleta mix into each mold until almost filled. Add more cookie crumbs to the bottom of each paleta. Freeze for 2 hours, then insert the sticks. Freeze for another 4-5 hours.
When ready, remove from freezer and let sit for a few minutes. Spread the remaining cookie crumbs onto a plate. One at a time, gently run the paleta under warm water. Slowly remove from mold. Quickly dip the paleta into cookie crumbs on both sides and place onto plate. Place the plate in the freezer as you finish the remaining paletas. I would suggest letting the paletas firm up a little more on the plate.
Notes
No popsicle molds? Disposable paper cups work great with wooden popsicle stick.
