From the pure, radiant flavors of classic Blackberry and Spicy Pineapple to unexpectedly enchanting combinations such as Sour Cream, Cherry and Tequila, or Strawberry-Horchata, Paletas is an engaging and delicious guide to Mexicoâ€™s traditionalâ€”and some not-so-traditionalâ€”frozen treats.

Â  Whether youâ€™re drawn to a simple burst of fresh fruitâ€”as in the Coconut, Watermelon, or Cantaloupe popsâ€”or prefer adventurous flavors like Mezcal-Orange, Mexican Chocolate, Hibiscus-Raspberry, or Lime Pie, Paletas is an inviting, refreshing guide guaranteed to help you beat the heat. Editorial Reviews Mexican-born pastry chef Gerson follows up her groundbreaking My Sweet Mexico with a brilliant collection of recipes for frozen Mexican treats.
