Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup hulled, finely diced strawberries
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp water

Pop filling

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups 3.25% milk
  • 1 cup 35% cream
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 8 4-oz paper cups
  • 16 Popsicle sticks
  • 2 cups coated flaked cereal , preferably Frosted Flakes, crushed

White chocolate coating

  • 22g white chocolate chips
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tsp corn syrup

Instructions

  • STRAWBERRY Compote: Bring strawberries, sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until strawberries are broken down and compote is thickened, about 8 min. Set aside to cool.
  • POP filling: whisk sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in milk and cream and bring to a boil over medium, stirring constantly, until mixture is very thick, 6 to 8 min. Remove from heat. Whisk in condensed milk and vanilla.
  • TRANSFER to a bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface. Set over an ice bath to cool for 20 min. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hr.
  • DIVIDE cream mixture and compote among cups, stirring once or twice. Freeze 60 to 90 min. Insert 2 Popsicle sticks into each cup, evenly spacing them 1-in. apart in centre. Freeze until firm, at least 8 hr, preferably overnight.
  • WHITE Chocolate Coating: Melt chocolate chips, coconut oil and corn syrup in a small bowl over a small saucepan of barely simmering water. Remove from heat and scrape chocolate into a liquid measuring cup.
  • WORKING with 1 pop at a time and using a sharp serrated knife, cut the cup and the pop in half down the centre between sticks. Remove the paper and dip each half in chocolate coating, spooning chocolate all over to coat. Immediately dip in cereal to coat. Return to freezer to set, about 5 min.

Kitchen Tip: An ice bath is a combo of water and ice. It is used to cool food down quickly. Fill a large metal bowl halfway with cold water just before you need it. Add enough ice cubes or crushed ice so water will not overflow when the custard bowl is put into the ice bath.
