Why we ❤️ it
It's summer, and we'd start to feel like we may burst into flames at any moment. I am looking forward to walking without the feeling that I might have a heatstroke at any moment.
Luckily, I have my own little cure-all for the summer heat: Paletas!
Morir soñando de chinola?
We make Morir soñando by combining milk with any of several citrus juices, typically orange juice, but also bitter oranges or lime juice.
Chinola (passionfruit, fruta de la pasión, maracuyá o parchita) is actually a berry, but since it has a similar sour taste to citrus fruits, it also makes a great morir soñando. It isn't very common, though.

Don't miss all our summer frozen treats recipes, and especially enjoy this other passionfruit popsicle, or our classic Paleta de coco (coconut), Paleta de tamarindo, Paleta de batata con coco (sweet potato and coconut), or my own easy version of Tarta helada (ice cream cake).
Top tips
- Pulp: I use fresh passionfruit pulp in the recipe (including seeds). If you don't like the crunchy taste of the passionfruit pulp, blend and sieve before chilling.
- Juice: Juice from a carton (even concentrate) will also work.
About this recipe
For this recipe, I have used chinola juice (passion fruit juice) instead of orange, as in the traditional drink.
The result is a great combination of creamy and slightly sour flavor, and of course, the taste and aroma of the magnificent passion fruit. I used passion fruit pulp because I like the crunchiness of it, but feel free to blend and sieve to get rid of solids.
