Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Pops

Let me share my favorite summer treat - Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Pops! I love how these combine everything wonderful about cheesecake into a fun frozen pop. That creamy cheesecake filling paired with the crunchy strawberry coating creates the perfect cool treat for hot days. They're so pretty too perfect for backyard parties or just a special afternoon treat.

Everyone's New Favorite Treat

What makes these pops so special is how they give you everything you love about cheesecake but in a fun frozen form. That contrast between the smooth creamy center and crunchy coating is absolutely irresistible. I like to add a little white chocolate drizzle to make them extra fancy - they always disappear first at summer gatherings.

What You'll Need

  • For the Creamy Center:
    • Softened cream cheese is key here
    • Sugar for sweetness
    • Tangy sour cream
    • Rich heavy cream
    • Pure vanilla extract
    • Crushed graham crackers for texture
  • For That Crunchy Coating:
    • Fresh crushed strawberries
    • Sugar to bring out their sweetness
    • Graham cracker crumbs
    • Melted butter to bind it
    • White chocolate chips if you're feeling fancy

Let's Make Some Pops

Start with the Filling:
Get your cream cheese nice and smooth add sugar vanilla then fold in your creams and graham crumbs.
Make That Coating:
Mix those sweet strawberries with sugar then combine your graham crumbs with butter until crumbly.
Build Your Pops:
Fill those molds most of the way add some melted chocolate if you like then sprinkle with that crunchy topping.
Freeze Time:
Let them set up for at least 4 hours until nice and firm.
Time to Enjoy:
Run the molds under warm water pop them out and dig in.

My Best Tips

  • More Berry Flavor: Add some strawberry puree right into your filling.
  • No Molds: Paper cups work great in a pinch.
  • Extra Firm: Let them freeze overnight they'll be perfect.
  • Try This: A splash of lemon juice makes everything pop.

Quick Answers

  • Different Fruits: Try raspberries or blueberries they're amazing too.
  • Make Them Dairy-Free: Use your favorite dairy-free alternatives.
  • Get Creative: Add nuts or chocolate chips to the filling.
  • Keep Them Fresh: They'll stay good in the freezer for two weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
