Chef's Tips
For a more intense mint flavor, gently muddle the mint leaves with the sugar and lemon juice before adding the strawberries and milk. Let it sit for 10 minutes before blending.
If your paletas are difficult to unmold, try submerging the molds in a bowl of warm water for a few seconds.
To elevate the flavor, use Jersey honey instead of white sugar to give your paletas a unique floral taste.
Add a few thinly sliced strawberries or chopped mint leaves to the molds before pouring in the mixture for visual appeal.
To create a layered effect, freeze a portion of the strawberry-mint mixture, then add a layer of blended Jersey Royal potato and freeze the completed paleta. The potato will act as a creamy complement to the sweet berries.
