Morelia Paletas Now Kosher on NYC’s Upper East Side, With a Second Location in Surfside, FL
A popular Mexican-style ice cream brand, Morelia Paletas, now has a kosher-certified location on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Known for their customizable frozen treats, Morelia serves up handcrafted paletas in dozens of flavors, offering a fun and interactive dessert experience.
Mexican Ice Pops
These paletas, or Mexican ice pops, are made with either a fruit-based or creamy dairy base and can be dipped, topped, and stuffed to order. Customers choose their base paleta, dip it in chocolate or other coatings, and finish it with an array of crunchy or sweet toppings. The result is a unique dessert that’s as photogenic as it is satisfying.
Among the most popular offerings is the s’mores paleta, which features a torched marshmallow topping layered with graham cracker crumbs. The customization options also include flavors like dulce de leche, pistachio, Belgian chocolate, strawberry cheesecake, and vegan-friendly coconut, with add-ons like crushed Oreos, sprinkles, and Nutella drizzle.
The new Upper East Side location offers kosher consumers in New York a fully supervised, build-your-own paleta shop that maintains all the brand’s signature customization options. The dessert is assembled in front of customers and torched or dipped on the spot, creating a fun visual and culinary experience.
Other Morelia Locations
The Surfside & Aventura, Florida locations offers the same core paleta experience, with extensive flavors, toppings, and dipping options. It remains a popular stop for kosher travelers visiting the Miami area and looking for a cold treat after a day at the beach or exploring the nearby kosher dining scene. However, it is important to note that the Surfside and Aventura locations themselves are not certified, but the products are. Other Morelia locations are not kosher certified nor do they carry kosher certified products.
Morelia’s expansion into kosher markets provides greater access to high-quality, fun frozen desserts for kosher consumers. With one fully supervised shop in NYC and packaged offerings available in Florida, Morelia Paletas is positioning itself as a go-to spot for interactive frozen treats in multiple Jewish communities.
