Summertime is the time to embrace the refreshing tastiness of homespun paletas. Whereas the traditional popsicle tends to be little more then food colouring and sugar, their Mexican counterparts, the Paleta, is a rich variety of textures and flavours, turning every good paleta into a distinctly refreshing memory. These ones are dairy free, gluten free and refined sugar free too and they are so tasty!
