How to Make Cucumber Chili Paletas Popsicles

  1. Combine 1 cup chopped cucumber, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons agave nectar (or honey), 1-2 jalapeños, seeded and minced (adjust to your spice preference), and a pinch of salt in a blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth. This may take a minute or two depending on the power of your blender.
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp.
  4. Pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top.
  5. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.
