Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (or gluten-free cookies for gluten-free option)
  • 1 cup whipped cream or heavy cream (whipped)

Coating and Decoration

  • 1 cup chocolate or candy melts
  • Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut (optional)
  • Lollipop sticks

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated and silky. Gently fold in whipped cream or beaten heavy cream to lighten the batter. Finally, stir in graham cracker crumbs ensuring a uniform texture that’s easy to shape.
  2. Form the Pops: Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the cheesecake mixture into bite-sized balls of even size. Insert a lollipop stick into each ball, pressing gently to secure without puncturing through the other side. Place formed pops on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Chill the Pops: Refrigerate the pops for at least 2 hours to firm them up properly so they maintain shape during coating and serving.
  4. Melt and Dip: Gently melt your chosen chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, stirring often to prevent burning. Once smooth, dip each cheesecake pop fully into the melted chocolate, ensuring even coverage. Tap off excess coating and place on wax paper or silicone mat to dry.
  5. Decorate and Set: Before the coating hardens, sprinkle toppings such as sprinkles, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut over the pops to add flair. Allow the pops to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for faster hardening.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth blending and prevent lumps.
  • Don’t skip chilling; it helps the pops hold shape and makes dipping easier.
  • Melt chocolate slowly over low heat to avoid burning and ensure a smooth coating.
  • Work quickly when coating as chocolate hardens fast.
  • Try different coatings like white, milk, or dark chocolate for flavor variety.
