Mexican Paletas
Paletas Moulds can be purchased from Amazon, and Jay who created these incredible recipes, recommends ensuring you choose food safe silicon that ideally stack upwards - that way they take up less room in your freezer. You can also purchase Paletas Sleeves from Amazon, to store them safely in your freezer.
Each recipe makes 4 Paletas, if you want to make more, simply double up, and the flavour combos include:
- Strawberry, Lemon + Lemon Pepper
- Spiced Blood Orange
- Black Cherry Coke
- Blueberry & Victoria Plum
- Pineapple + Voodoo Mango
- Mexican Avocado + Lime
- Rhubarb + Rose
- Coconut + Rose
The method for each is the same unless stated:
- Add to a pan
- Bring to the boil, simmer for 5 minutes
- Leave to cool and let the spices infuse.
- Pour the cooked mixture into a food processor or liquidiser, blend until smooth
- Pour into silicone moulds.
- Freeze for at least 5 hours.
