Pineapple Basil Paletas

Our favorite way to keep cool this summer: Pineapple Basil Paletas

I am finally back home after a week in El Paso, Texas. We appropriately spent the first day of summer in 98° dry weather. Needless to say, there was zero frizz in my hair and all I wanted was a refreshing paleta to keep me cool.

Now that we are home, I’ve been buying pineapples by the truck load lately and my basil plant has been very generous this season. This has caused endless pitchers of refreshing pineapple and basil agua fresca to be served at every meal this past week.

I had to take this delicious combination a step further. Paletas! In honor of #PaletaWeek in social media, I made a dessert out of our current favorite drink. The best part about this recipe is that it only takes 3 ingredients!

Undrained, canned pineapple, sugar and basil. That’s it! In under 10 minutes, you’ll have the molds ready to chill and tasty paletas in about 4 hours. If you prefer using fresh pineapple, ad a tad bit more of sugar to your preference. Both methods are delicious and easy to prepare.
