Method
- For the lime layer, add the water, sugar, lime juice, cornstarch, and optional green food coloring to a saucepan.
- Whisk well until the cornstarch dissolves.
- Cook over low to medium-low heat, stirring often, until the mixture slightly thickens. Do not boil hard.
- Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Pour the lime mixture into popsicle molds, filling each mold about halfway.
- Freeze for 2 hours, or until the lime layer is firm enough to hold the next layer.
- For the vanilla layer, add the water, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and cornstarch to a clean saucepan.
- Whisk until smooth, then cook over low to medium-low heat until slightly thickened.
- Let the vanilla mixture cool slightly before pouring it over the frozen lime layer.
- Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for 5 hours, or until completely firm.
- To unmold, run the outside of the popsicle molds under warm water for a few seconds, then gently pull out the popsicles.

Notes
Cornstarch helps give the popsicles a smoother texture and makes them less brittle after freezing. For the best flavor, use fresh lime juice instead of bottled lime juice.
