Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup additional granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk the ingredients together until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Step 2: Pour into Molds
Carefully pour the creamy mixture into your paleta molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. Insert the sticks into the molds and place them in the freezer.
Step 3: Freeze
Allow the paletas to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid. For best results, freeze overnight.
Step 4: Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Coating
In a small bowl, combine the additional granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well to create your cinnamon sugar coating.
Step 5: Unmold the Paletas
To remove the paletas from the molds, run them under warm water for a few seconds. Gently pull on the sticks to release the paletas.
Step 6: Coat the Paletas
Once unmolded, roll each paleta in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated. This adds an extra layer of flavor and sweetness to your frozen treat.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Your Cinnamon Sugar Paletas are now ready to be served! Enjoy them immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for later indulgence.
