Description
Cheesecake pops are creamy, bite-sized treats combining classic cheesecake filling with fresh strawberries and a crunchy graham cracker topping. They are perfect for parties, snacks, or any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (8-ounce) blocks of cream cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers
- 15 popsicle sticks
Instructions
- Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries using a spatula.
- Spoon the mixture into Dixie cups, filling each about three-quarters full, and smooth the tops.
- Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over each filled cup.
- Insert a popsicle stick into the center of each cup, ensuring it stands upright.
- Place the cups in the freezer and freeze for 4 to 6 hours or until solid.
- Once frozen, remove the cheesecake pops from the cups and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a healthier version.
- Substitute strawberries with other berries like raspberries or blueberries.
- Replace powdered sugar with honey or maple syrup for natural sweetness.
- Use gluten-free graham crackers for a gluten-free option.
- Let pops thaw for a few minutes at room temperature before serving.
- Do not microwave to thaw; this will ruin the texture.
- Store in the freezer in an airtight container with parchment between layers for up to 1 month.
