Do you ever have that moment when you really crave something sweet, perhaps a popsicle, but you’re just too darn lazy to put on some pants, find some loose change and get out of the house? Well, fret no more as those days of regret are behind us with Paleteria — a popsicle home delivery service, based out of Mumbai.
The two lovely sisters behind this venture, Mallika and Nellanie Sawla, understood the woes of the popsicle-loving public and they decided to create their unique brand which delivers hand-made popsicles that are devoid of any artificial flavourings and preservatives. Launched in March 2016, Paleteria’s aim is to serve people only the most colorful, fruity and icy treats that the best dreams are made of. The Sawla sisters say that it took many long nights of deliberation and tastings before they finalised their menu and started accepted orders.
Mallika recounts how fascinated she was by the delectable and scrumptious popsicles that she found during a six month trip to Singapore. Once she realised how extenive the range of flavours was she spent her remaining time experimenting with different combinations to find the one that was truly magical. With the sisters’ combined passion for desserts and travel, Paleteria was born.
Priced at Rs.100 per pop, Paleteria takes orders 24 hours in advance with a minimum order of six. They have free delivery if you order 10 or more popsicles at one time, anything less will cost you an additional Rs.150 in delivery fees. They do some pretty cool customizations for different events as well as a ‘Flavour of the Month’ for all you adventurous people out there.
These popsicles have really hit home for calorie-conscious Mumbaikars who are delighted at this ice-cold relief in the sweltering temperatures of the coast.
The all-natural popsicles come in 17 different flavours divided into two categories — fruit-based and cream-based. With orders flying off the shelf, the girls say that their most popular flavour is the Strawberry Kiwi popsicle in the fruit-based section, while Nutella rules the roast in the cream-based versions. Raspberry and Blueberry Cheesecake, Fruitilicious, and Watermelon Cooler are also quickly catching up as crowd-favourites.
