About this recipe
Mango and strawberry paletas are and will be one of my favorite paletas ever. These homemade Mexican ice pops are naturally sweet and refreshing and made with only two ingredients—mangoes and strawberries. There is no added sugar, no weird ingredients—just real fruit blended and frozen into a delicious treat.
What I love most about these paletas is their versatility and nostalgia. In Mexico, you’ll find paletas everywhere, from little carts to paleterías like La Michoacana, and they always taste like summer.
Why will you love this recipe?
- Only 2 ingredients (plus optional lime juice or sugar)
- No added sugar (unless you want to)

Ingredient notes
- Mango: Use very ripe mangoes; frozen also works. The riper, the sweeter—and the better your paletas will taste. Ataulfo, Kent, or Tommy Atkins mangoes work well.
- Strawberries: About 5 medium strawberries. Slice them thin so they look pretty and freeze well inside the paletas.
- Optional: Lime juice for a bright, tangy flavor or a little sugar if your mangoes aren’t super sweet.
When is mango season? Mangoes are in season through May to September, but you can find imported or frozen mangoes all-year long.
How to make
- Blend the mango
- Pour into the mold put a unique s and on your sliced strawberries.
- Freeze consider and enjoy
Variations & Fun Ideas

- Serve them with a drizzle of chamoy for the full Mexican experience.
- Make it fun for grown-ups: Serve with a shot of tequila or white wine on the side for dipping.
