Strawberries and Cream Popsicles, Guest Post by Chung-Ah of Damn Delicious
Today’s post is by the lovely Chung-Ah from Damn Delicious. Chung-Ah’s recipe’s often remind me of my own or something that I’d eat in a heartbeat. We pretty much like the same food. I’ve said to her a few times that we could be cook-sisters. You know, those friends who you don’t mind sharing a kitchen with? Yep, that’s her. We are a part of some really cool movements like #SundaySupper and #MuffinMonday. Such a sweet brilliant soul. I was so happy when Chung-Ah agreed with such fiery spirit to guest post for me. Take a moment and visit her blog. I guarantee that you’ll love it. Her photography is beautiful too!
Check out some of Chung-Ah’s awesome recipes! A few of my favourites are Strawberry Espresso Chocolate Chip Muffins, Pancetta Fried Rice and Slow Cooker Chicken Adobo (Keeping this recipe close)
Thank you, Chung-Ah for guest posting today while I spend some quality time with my family in Jamaica. I appreciate you!!

***
Lyn is off in Jamaica and even though I wanted to sneak into her suitcase and tag along, that didn’t quite happen as I had imagined. So here I am to provide you with a refreshing dessert option, or breakfast option for some.
Now for those of you who don’t know me, I’m Chung-Ah of Damn Delicious. I’m a recent public health graduate and I love spending time in my closet-sized kitchen, whipping up quick and easy homemade meals using fresh ingredients. With my love for food, I created a food blog over a year ago which in turn led me to meet so many wonderful foodies like Lyn. I’m definitely a big fan of hers, to say the least, and I am incredibly honored to be guest posting for her. She has the most wonderful recipes, and she never ceases to amaze me with her Jamaican favorites. I mean have you seen her Jamaican Cornmeal Pudding? I could seriously gobble that up for breakfast every morning!
Anyway, before I spend the whole day talking on and on about how I adore Lyn and how I need to try every single one of her recipes, we should get down to business and talk about these popsicles.
So I bought these cute popsicle molds from Crate & Barrel a while back and even though I had like 10 popsicle recipes lined up, these molds just sat in their box, unopened, for several weeks. I don’t know why but I have this tendency to leave brand new kitchen products in their original packaging for an indefinite amount of time. I did that with my Le Creuset dutch oven and I did it again with my KitchenAid mixer. I think that sat on the couch for like a month.
It’s a sickness really. Maybe I should see someone about that.
Anyway, when I finally managed to get the molds out of their box, I inaugurated them with this awesome strawberries and cream recipe I found over at My Baking Addiction. It’s seriously one of the easiest things to make, and the only hard part is pouring the mixture into the molds without making a mess on your kitchen counter.
Yeah, like I said, super easy.

If you don’t have a popsicle mold, you should totally get one. The popsicle recipe options are endless, and you get to use up such fresh ingredients that bring natural sweetness to these babies, unlike the sugar-loaded store-bought ones. Plus, it’s a sure way to cool off on these hot summer days!

I’m honoured to have Chung-Ah here while I’m away! And thank you, Liz! My vacation is wonderful so far!
Nice to meet you Chung-Ah!! This recipe is so simple, I think my soon to be 6 and 5 yr olds could make them all by them self! They certainly look refreshing too.
Lyn, thanks for having Chung-Ah over 🙂
I’m so glad I popped over.. And what a great guest post! Am going to further explore your blog now too, to feast with my eyes. ;). Cheers, Jo
These popsicle look SO good! I could eat WAY TOO many of these. 🙂 I’ve got to get me some of those molds! So glad to see Chung-Ah posting here because this is my first time visiting this lovely blog. Headed out to explore it some more!
Oh my!These look so wonderful. I don’t have a popsicle mold, but it just moved to the top of my “must buy” list so I can make these. Perfect!!!
I am now in love…with a popsicle. All the ice cream will be so jealous.
Hi Lyn! I hope you’re having an awesome vacation in Jamaica and get some rest while you are getting pampered by your mom! 🙂
I’m a huge fan of Chung-Ah too, and you two do make similar delicious meals! I really love these Popsicle post because I’m like you Chung-Ah, I keep it a while until I actually start using it. I bought a Popsicle mold (the one you freeze the bowl, like ice cream machine) last year but still not used. Time to try soon! I love this strawberry cream Popsicle very much!
Just made these today and they are amazing!! I followed the recipe but added a tiny bit more agave since my strawberries were not very sweet. Absolutely delish!!
Thank you
