From 'Comida Mexicana' by Rosa Cienfuegos These popsicles are enjoyed by kids and adults alike! Cienfuegos also gives you a recipe for your own Miguelito Powder in this recipe, as she says it can be hard to find outside of Mexico, clearly she hasn't hard of Mexgrocer!
Ingredients
- 3 large jicamas, peeled and sliced lengthways into 1-inch thick slices
- 250ml lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 250ml chamoy
- 130g Miguelito Powder, or:
- 100g caster sugar
- 30g chilli powder
- 1 tsp vegetable colouring
- To make the Miguelito Powder: combine all the ingredients in a small bowl, then tip onto a flat plate.
- Insert a wooden popsicle stick into the base of each jicama slice.
- Place the lime juice and chamoy in separate shallow bowls. Working with one jicama slice at a time, dip both sides in the lime juice, followed by the chamoy, then press into the Miguelito Powder.
- Repeat to make all the popsicles.
