These Paletas Will Put You In A Summer Mood
The following excerpt and recipe for Paletas is from Emma Hearst's cookbook "Flavors from the Farm." It features over 100 recipes — from beverages to soups to desserts — celebrating fresh food from her Upstate New York farmstead. It's available for purchase on Amazon.
Paletas, aka Mexican ice pops, aka the best Popsicles ever! Fresh fruit and bold flavors make these icy treats far better than what the ice cream truck brings by. You can make them tart and refreshing with chunks of fruit and juice or creamy and sweet with condensed milk. Nothing is more enjoyable on a hot summer day, and they can be garnished with everything from shavings of chocolate to chopped nuts to a dusting of chile powder. It’s a good idea to always have plenty of frozen goodies on hand that are fun for both kids and adults to eat. I’ll take mine upside down in a cup of vodka, please!
