These homemade frozen paletas combine sweet ripe mangoes with tangy chamoy and a sprinkle of chili powder for a refreshing and spicy summer treat that’s easy to make and crowd-pleasing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium fresh mangoes, peeled and chopped (about 1 pound)
  • 1/2 cup chamoy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder, plus extra for sprinkling
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: a few fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Peel, pit, and roughly chop about 3 medium ripe mangoes (about 1 pound).
  2. In a blender, combine chopped mango, 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup, a pinch of sea salt, and 1 teaspoon chili powder. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Taste and adjust sweetness or lime if needed.
  3. If using, add 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt and pulse a few times to incorporate without overmixing.
  4. Pour half the mango mixture into a bowl. Gently swirl in 1/4 cup chamoy sauce to create marbled layers without fully mixing.
  5. Spoon the mango mixture into paleta molds, alternating with spoonfuls of the chamoy swirl. Insert sticks and lightly tap molds on the counter to release air bubbles.
  6. Freeze molds for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
  7. To unmold, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds and gently pull the paletas out. Sprinkle extra chili powder or Tajín on top before serving.

Notes

Use ripe mangoes for best sweetness and flavor. Adjust honey or agave syrup based on mango ripeness. For a creamier texture, add Greek yogurt. To create chamoy swirls, fold gently rather than stirring vigorously. Freeze overnight for best texture. Run warm water on molds to unmold easily. Optional variations include adding berries, coconut milk, or cream cheese for different flavors.
