My friends, 

Let me say this loud and clear: I think fruit is sexy. Yes, I do! I love its bright acidity and juicy sweetness. In summer, we have the most perfect fruit and, to be honest, it can be hard to improve upon. But there is one way: making paletas, the Latin American ice pops made from fresh fruit. (The name comes from palo, for the sticks frozen into each pop.)

Freshly frozen Key Lime and Mango Chile Lime Paletas!

Paletas are tangy and sweet and cool you down in an instant. It’s like a little  air conditioner on a stick. Making them yourself is not only easy, but it means you avoid all those preservatives and added sugar. Healthy, refreshing and delicious. And, yes, sexy!  Boom!
