# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes ten minutes from start to finish, and most of that is just rolling pickles around on a plate.
  • The combination of sour, sweet, salty, and spicy hits every craving at once without feeling heavy.
  • You can customize the heat level and sweetness to match your mood or your guests tolerance.
  • It's vegan, gluten-free, and shockingly low in calories for something that tastes this indulgent.
02 -
  • Dry those pickles thoroughly, or the chamoy will pool at the bottom of the plate instead of sticking to the pickle.
  • Use a thick, pulpy chamoy sauce—watery versions just don't coat as well and the flavors get diluted.
  • Don't refrigerate them for more than an hour, or the coating can start to weep and lose its vibrant texture.
03 -
  • Freeze the pickles for 15 minutes before coating if you want an extra-cold, crisp snack that holds the chamoy even better.
  • Double-coat the pickles if you love a thick, sticky layer—just let the first coat set for a minute before adding more chamoy and Tajín.
  • Use flavored chamoy like mango or watermelon to give the pickles a fruity twist that surprises everyone.
