4th of July Paletas
by Vianney Rodriguez
by Sweet Life
makes 10
- 2 cups strawberry juice
- 2 cups lemonade
- 2 cups blueberry juice
- paleta mold or dixie cups
For the first layer:
- Pour the strawberry juice into the mold to your desired layer.
- Freeze for 1 hour.
- Remove from freezer and insert your wooden sticks.
- Freeze for another hour. Freezing each layer completely will prevent colors from running.
Second Layer:
- Pour your layer of lemonade.
- Return to freezer and freeze 1 hour.
Third Layer:
- Remove mold from freezer and add your final layer.
- Return and freeze 1 hour or overnight.
- To serve run warm water along side of mold and remove carefully not to break wooden stick.
*If using dixie cups or a smaller mold, reduce the amount of juice.

I love palettas! These are so festive too. I’m off to check out your other recipes for other flavors.
My colors ran…ah well, perhaps next time.
Also, did you make your own juice, or buy it?
We bought them, but couldn’t find strawberry juice.
hey Carrie,
They ran, sorry I also had a batch that ran. I rushed them, so they did not set properly.
I used fresh juice.

Bonnie would you please adopt me for a week or two and teach me all these wonderful tricks you do with fruits. Please !
These might be considered a little more patience…but…oooh…how worth it they must be…mummm.
Happy celebratory 4th to you and your whole familia ;o)
Ciao for now Bonnie and flavourful wishes,

The colors are gorgeous. And the popsicles combine some of my fave fruit flavors all in one. It’s a trifecta of yumminess. 😉
Awesome!!! You’re a genius and I’m totally lacking on the 4th posts…I suck.
