Coconut frozen fruit bars?

I love all things coconut. I could sip coconut milk right from the can.

I used to buy coconut frozen fruit bars at Aldi, but I haven't found them there in about two years. I believe it was a latin brand. They were creamy, rich, and intensely coconut.

I know Outshine makes one, but they are nowhere near as good.

Anyone have a really good recipe? I don't want pineapple or any other fruit in them - just coconut.

Google and searches on recipe websites can't distinguish between FROZEN coconut bars and coconut bar COOKIES, so I've weeded through a lot without finding anything that seems right.

Do you expert cooks have recipes you recommend? Thanks!

Try searching for paletas de coco. What you describe sounds like what Mexican pushcart vendors sell.

Here's a recipe I made up for coconut ice cream:

1 can (18 oz) coconut cream

1-1/2 cups heavy cream

1/2 cup coconut milk

2/3 cup sugar

2 tbsp Amaretto

Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Chill the mixture, if the coconut cream has not already been chilled, and the process in your ice cream maker.

Yield: 2 quarts (?)

You could add coconut flakes to it, if you want.

I'm sure you're aware of the difference between coconut cream and coconut milk. I do not use any coconut water in this recipe, as it would be too thin.
