Put the coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, half-andhalf, salt, and vanilla in a blender and blend until smooth. Stir
in the coconut.
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 to 2 hours), then insert the sticks
and freeze until solid, 4 to 5 hours. If using an instant ice pop
maker, follow the manufacturers instructions.

When I first moved to the States, I often had major cravings for this beverage. In Mexico, chia seeds are sold in most markets and spice shops,
but I couldnt find them anywhere in the States, and when I tried to
explain what they were, people looked at me like I was crazy. Then, late
one night when I was watching TV, I saw this thing called the Chia Pet.
I had found my seeds!
Chia seeds look like poppy seeds, but when soaked in liquid for a
while, they bloom and develop an awesome gummy texture. This limeade is made using the whole lime, which gives it a slight bitterness, but
trust me: its so good you wont want to make it any other way.
