Paletas De Nuez Recipes

MEXICAN PALETAS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place half of the fruit, sugar, water, and lime juice into a blender , and blend until smooth.
• Spoon the remaining chopped fruit into ice pop molds, then add the blended mixture, leaving about 1/2-inch of headspace for expansion.
• Place the molds into the freezer and allow at least 6 hours for your treats to firm up completely. If your molds don't have built-in Popsicle sticks (or you are using paper cups or some other receptacle as molds), take your pops out of the freezer after about an hour and insert wooden sticks into the slushy mix; return to the freezer.
• Remove the pops from the molds and enjoy!

PALETAS DE NUEZ

Steps:

• Combine the pecans, heavy cream, milk, sugar, and salt in a heavy pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat, add the vanilla, cover, and let sit for 30 minutes. Remove 1 cup of the mixture, purée in a blender, then return to the pot and stir to combine.
• Chill over an ice bath, stirring until cool. Refrigerate until completely cooled. Divide the mixture among ice pop molds or wax-lined paper cups and freeze until beginning to set, 3 to 4 hours. Insert the sticks. Let freeze for at least 3 hours more, and then unmold as directed or peel off the paper cups.
