The method

Step by step

1
Combine the mango, water, and lime juice in a blender.
About 1 min
2
Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Ensure there are no large chunks of mango left for a smooth paleta.
3
Taste the mixture and add agave nectar if you prefer a sweeter paleta.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: The sweetness will be less pronounced when frozen, so make sure it's slightly sweeter than you'd like.
4
Pour the mango mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small space at the top for expansion.
About 2 min
5
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: If your molds don't have built-in stick holders, you can freeze for about an hour until slushy, then insert the sticks.
6
Freeze the paletas for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.
About 4 hr
7
To unmold, briefly run the molds under warm water for a few seconds.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Do not use hot water, as it can melt the paleta too quickly.
8
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of chili powder over each paleta before serving for a sweet and spicy kick.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: This is a traditional Mexican touch that complements the mango flavor beautifully.
