Strawberry Cheesecake Popsicles Description

Imagine taking a bite of creamy cheesecake, now imagine that with a fresh strawberry swirl and in a popsicle form! Strawberry Cheesecake Popsicles are made by blending cream cheese with heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, and then folding in a fresh strawberry puree. The mixture is then poured into popsicle molds and frozen. The result is a heavenly creamy popsicle with the tangy sweetness of strawberries. Perfect for cheesecake lovers looking for a cooler alternative!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones?
A: Absolutely! Frozen strawberries work just as well as fresh ones. Just be sure to thaw them before pureeing.

Q: Can I use other berries?
A: Yes, feel free to swap strawberries for raspberries, blueberries, or a mix of berries for a different flavor profile.

Q: Is there a dairy-free alternative?
A: Yes, you can use coconut cream and a dairy-free cream cheese alternative to make these popsicles dairy-free.

What ingredients do you need for these strawberry popsicles?

1 box cheesecake Jello pudding mix
2 cups almond milk
strawberry glaze
popsicle molds

Strawberry Cheesecake PopsiclesHow do you make these popsicles?

  • Follow directions for making pudding, located on the side of the pudding box. The key here is to use almond milk as it will keep it runny and not make it too thick. 
  • Mix together pudding ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Grab your popsicle mold and fill about 3/4 full of pudding mix. 
  • Next, add 1-2 tablespoons of strawberry glaze. (the glaze will be heavy and start to sink to the bottom, which is fine. This is also why you don’t want to overfill with the pudding mix because it will raise once the glaze is added.)
  • Use a butter knife and swirl around the pudding mix and the strawberry glaze inside the popsicle mold.
  • Once done, place in freezer to harden. We let ours sit overnight and enjoyed it as a snack the next day. 4-6 hours in the freezer is probably sufficient, though.

Tips and Tricks

  1. Quality Matters: Use high-quality cream cheese for a truly creamy texture.
  2. Avoid Ice Crystals: To avoid ice crystals, make sure the popsicle mixture is well blended and smooth before freezing.
  3. Easy Unmolding: To easily remove the popsicles from the molds, run them under warm water for a few seconds.

Variations

  1. Chocolate Drizzle: Add a touch of richness by drizzling melted chocolate over the frozen popsicles.
  2. Lemon Zest: Add some lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture for a refreshing citrus twist.
  3. Cookie Crumble: Mix in some graham cracker crumbs to mimic the crust of a traditional cheesecake.

  3. Kids’ Parties: Little ones (and adults) will be thrilled to have these at birthday parties.

Storage Tips

  1. Freezer-Safe Bag: Once the popsicles are frozen, you can remove them from the molds and store them in a freezer-safe bag to save space. They’ll keep for up to 2 months.
  2. Parchment Paper: Place a sheet of parchment paper between each popsicle to prevent them from sticking together.
