Limber de Parcha (Passion Fruit Ice Pops)

Limber de parcha are ice pops bursting with the vibrant flavor of tropical passion fruit. In Puerto Rico, limber is traditionally made in small plastic cups. Once frozen, you flip the ice pop upside down and place it back in the cup to make it easier to eat. You could also use a popsicle mold to make popsicles or paletas.
