Freeze the popsicles for at least 4-6 hours, or until they are completely solid, to ensure the best texture.
You can substitute stevia with honey, agave syrup, or maple syrup, adjusting the quantity to taste since these options may vary in sweetness.
Store leftover popsicles in the freezer in a sealed container or plastic bag for up to one week to maintain their flavor and texture.

Cooking Tips:
- Opt for ripe avocados: Ensure your avocados are ripe for a creamier texture and better flavor.
- Adjust sweetness to taste: If you prefer a sweeter treat, increase the stevia leaf sweetener or substitute with another sweetener of your choice.
- Use full-fat coconut milk: For extra creaminess, use full-fat coconut milk rather than light versions.
- Freeze overnight: For best results, let the popsicles freeze overnight to ensure they are completely set.
- Add zest: For added flavor, consider adding some lime zest to the mixture before freezing.
