Huevo Mol Paletas

Versión en español

Summer has now really started in Houston! We have already had a few days with a thermal sensation of over 40 degrees celsius and you only crave ice cream and cold things. These huevo mol paletas or popsicles are perfect.

I had set out to use all our frozen food before moving, so I decided to use some huevo mol that was in my freezer to make these popsicles and they turned out delicious.

Huevo mol is a very old, traditional Chilean sweet, made of egg yolk and sugar. It probably was a way to preserve and make use of yolks. The same as with fruit which was turned into jam.

With this recipe, I am participating in #PaletaWeek, an initiative of the blog Lola’s Cocina to make popsicles or paletas (as they are called in Mexico) more widely known. Thanks Lola for inviting me to participate with a recipe from my country.
