Mango cantaloupe paletas with chile powder

Paletas de horchata

9 · May 31, 2014 · 4 Comments

Horchata has always been one of the most popular recipes on The Other Side of The Tortilla, so I thought I’d share a popsicle version that my family loves to eat.

This recipe for horchata popsicles is gluten-free.
