One day I was CRAVING “Coco” Coconut Ice Cream (it’s Costa Rica – you’d think it was
easy to find right? - NOT!!). I went from store to
store around Centro Escazu trying to find some - with no success – UNTIL – just before
I got to the house I was House Sitting – I stopped in at this little off the beaten path pulperia (little ma and pa corner "market") - Abastecedor
Castro and not only did they have my
Coco – they had this brand I’d never seen before - but OHHHHH BOY!!! I’ve now found my FAVORITE ice cream in Costa
Rica!!!
PECOSITAS – Helados de Paleta
Their
COCO/Coconut popsicle / paleta is SOOOOOO AWESOME as it actually has CHUNKS of COCONUT in it and
is tasty!!!! Can we say ADDICTIVE!!!!! (yesterday I ate 4 in one day!!! [granted they’re those small Dixie cup size])
Even Bubu the cat LOVES Pecositas!! One day I was laying on the couch eating my "Coco" & he comes & steps over my shoulder & starts licking away! EVERY TIME I had one he was trying to get it!! I swear he'd finish one all by himself if given the opportunity!!
