6cupsroughly chopped kiwiabout 12 kiwis
The Rest
¼cupsugar or honey

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!)
