I Scream, You Scream.. We all Scream "Paletas" - Ombligo - 06-29-2011
Summer is the perfect time for these frozen Hispanic wonders and I've just finished up a batch of various flavors to try and see what works.
These aren't the popcicles that your kiddies loved in the backyard. My flavors are for a slightly more adventurous palette.
My current flavors include:
Blueberry, basil and goat cheese
Strawberry, lime & ginger
Mango &lime with chili powder and a touch of cayanne
Gazpacho
Horchata with toasted coconut
I have a few other flavors to go in the near future such as Lemonade/Mint, and Sweet Potato Pie.
I'm also toying with Watermelon Salad but have not quite gotten the Feta Cheese figured out. Then there is a Sweet and Sour something, just can't decide what as frozen meat isn't what I'm looking for.
I'm open to other suggestions if you have any.

get a little too adventurous with that palette and you might have to substitute shingles for sticks.
I've only done strawberry ones.

Oh gosh, mouthwatering for sure. Not sure about adding feta to the watermelon--I'd think the dairy note would mute the fruit flavor. Although if the goat cheese works with the blueberry/basil, then it might be great. Watermelon, mint, cilantro, salt, and/or ... I don't know... green onion?
Have you thought about some sort of tamarind combination? That would be a delicious sweet-sour base.
:yum:

On a stick?!
I have that gene that makes me hate cilantro, though.
Meanwhile, I'm going out for a 50-50 bar. Or a Jamba Juice Orange Dream.
In some areas, I'm just not that adventurous.

Sorry no pics.
And trust me - Watrmelon salad is much, much better than it sounds.
Cut up some watermelon, add some thin slices of red onion, some black olives, mint and sprinkle it with feta cheese. I know it sounds odd, I thought the same until I tried it. Every blends really well.
The blueberry recipe is actually a pie that I adapted by pureeing about 2/3's of the filling and adding a bit more liquid before freezing.
I was thinking Tamerindo as well, just have not located a nearby source. Also considering Mamay, along with other fruits I could get fresh.

I thought garlic ice cream on cantaloupe sounded pretty strange until I tried it at the Gilroy Garlic Festival.
