This is one of the first questions we typically get when someone is visiting any of our stores for the first time. When you enter you see an array of different combinations of colors.

Though paletas may look like ordinary popsicles, this dessert packs a much larger punch. Paletas are a Mexican frozen treat made from fresh natural fruits such as strawberry and mango or made from rich creamy ingredients such as Chocolate and Sicilian pistachio. The right mix of these main ingredients with secondary ingredients such as water, milk, condensed milk among others, opens a whole world of flavor possibilities.

Though fruits are a common base ingredient for a typical Mexican paleta, more milk-based ice cream paletas are also available. For those less interested in fruity flavors, our paleta shops offer classic creamy flavor options like Belgian chocolate. With chocolate ice cream accounting for 14% of total US sales, we’d be remiss to exclude it from our menu!

Here are a few traditional Mexican paletas flavor options, as well as some more modern favorites:

• Paletas de piña (pineapple)
• Maracuya (passion fruit) filled with condensed milk
• Coconut
• Lime
• Sicilian Pistachio
• Belgian Chocolate (of course)
• Banana filled with Nutella
• Dulce de Leche filled with Dulce de Leche
• And many, many more!

How are paletas made?

The key to delicious paletas is their simplicity. Natural fruits, a bit of water, and other ingredients like yogurt are blended, then poured into a mold and chilled. The process may change based on the ingredients. Some paletas include a deliciously oozy cream, condensed milk, or dulce de leche center.
