Preparation
Peel the fruit (in case needed) depending on the size of the banana you might want to cut them in half by the middle. Strawberries put three to five in a skewer. Other fruit like pineapple, papaya and watermelon you might make a triangle. You can also make choco pan (with pan dulce) which in the US you can buy at a Mexican bakery.

Put the fruit in the wooden sticks (or skewer for strawberries) and place in the freezer the night before the preparation.

Put it in the freezer for a couple of minutes and enjoy!
