How To Make Mexican Paletas
Here's how to make the best paletas recipe! These Mexican-style popsicles are packed with fresh fruit and come in 4 delicious flavors.
Servings: 10 3-oz popsicles
Ingredients
Fruit (Pick One)
- 6 cups roughly chopped strawberries fresh or frozen and thawed
- 6 cups roughly chopped mango fresh or frozen and thawed
- 6 cups pineapple chunks fresh, canned, or frozen and thawed
- 6 cups roughly chopped kiwi about 12 kiwis
The Rest
- ¼ cup sugar or honey
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- Water as needed
Instructions
- Blend: Choose the fruit you want to use, then divide it in half. Finely chop half of the fruit and set it aside. Put the remaining fruit in a blender, along with the sugar and lime juice. Blender until smooth, adding a splash of water as needed to get things moving.
- Mold: Stir chopped fruit into blended mixture. Pour into molds, leaving a little space at the top for them to expand. Firmly tap the mold on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Insert sticks and freeze until hard (at least 4 hours).
- Serve: Run the mold under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them up, then remove from the mold.

Notes
Tajin makes a fun topping! Just dip each paleta in a glass of water then sprinkle with a dash of tajin (a little goes a long way!)
