These easy homemade Mexican popsicles combine sweet ripe mango, tangy chamoy sauce, and spicy Tajín seasoning for a refreshing and flavorful treat perfect for hot days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and chopped (about 3 cups or 450 grams)
  • ½ cup chamoy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Tajín seasoning, plus extra for sprinkling
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
  • ½ cup water
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop about 3 medium-sized ripe mangoes into chunks (about 3 cups or 450 grams).
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine mango chunks, ½ cup water, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional), and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Mix 2 tablespoons of Tajín seasoning directly into the mango puree.
  4. In a small bowl, stir the ½ cup chamoy sauce to loosen it if thick.
  5. Pour a couple of tablespoons of mango puree into each paleta mold. Add a teaspoon of chamoy on top and gently swirl with a skewer or knife to create swirls.
  6. Fill the rest of the mold with mango puree, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
  7. Insert sticks into each mold and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  8. To unmold, briefly dip molds in warm water for a few seconds and gently pull out the paletas.
  9. Sprinkle extra Tajín on top before serving.

Notes

If chamoy is too thick, warm it slightly in the microwave for 10 seconds to make swirling easier. Use ripe mangoes like Ataulfo or Haden for best sweetness and texture. Do not overmix chamoy swirl to keep visual appeal. Let paletas sit at room temperature a few minutes before unmolding to avoid breakage. For creamier paletas, add coconut cream or plain Greek/coconut yogurt.
