Print Recipe

These chamoy mango paletas are a sweet, tangy, and spicy frozen treat inspired by Mexican street snacks, perfect for summer and easy to make at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped (Ataulfo or Haden recommended)
  • ½ cup chamoy sauce (La Costeña brand recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons Tajín seasoning, plus extra for sprinkling
  • 1 tablespoon agave syrup or honey (optional)
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop 3 large ripe mangoes into chunks (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a blender, combine mango chunks, ¼ cup water, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, and 1 tablespoon agave syrup (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add more water if too thick.
  3. Pour mango puree into a large bowl. Stir in ½ cup chamoy sauce and 2 tablespoons Tajín seasoning. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Pour mixture into paleta molds, leaving space at the top. Insert sticks and tap molds gently to remove air bubbles (about 5 minutes).
  5. Freeze molds for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  6. Just before serving, zest 1 teaspoon lime over paletas and sprinkle extra Tajín for a fresh finish.
  7. To unmold, run warm water over the mold exterior for a few seconds and gently pull sticks. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe mangoes for best sweetness and texture. Adjust chamoy and Tajín to taste to balance spice and tang. Freeze at least 6 hours for firm texture. Running warm water on molds helps unmold paletas easily. Optional: add coconut cream for creamier texture or berries for a fruity twist.
