Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries (some mashed, some whole)

Coating and Toppings

  • 1 cup white chocolate or thick Greek yogurt for coating
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (plus extra for crust and topping)
  • Optional: crushed almonds or pistachios for rolling
  • Wooden popsicle sticks

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream to lighten the filling.
  2. Add Fresh Blackberries: Slightly mash some of the blackberries with a fork to release their juice while keeping some chunks. Fold the blackberries gently into the cheesecake mixture to create beautiful purple streaks.
  3. Fill Popsicle Molds: Lightly coat the popsicle molds with graham cracker crumbs. Spoon the cheesecake and blackberry mixture into the molds, filling them to the top. Insert wooden sticks and gently press graham cracker crumbs on top for a crust effect.
  4. Freeze Until Firm: Place the molds in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight until the pops are completely firm and easy to unmold.
  5. Coat in White Chocolate or Yogurt: Remove the frozen pops from molds carefully and dip each into melted white chocolate or thick Greek yogurt. Immediately sprinkle with extra graham cracker crumbs or crushed nuts if desired. Return to the freezer for 15 minutes to set the coating.

Notes

  • Soften cream cheese to room temperature for a smooth mixture without lumps.
  • Swirl mashed blackberries lightly to maintain pretty marbled effect instead of fully blending.
  • Use silicone molds for easier removal compared to rigid plastic molds.
  • Cool melted white chocolate slightly before dipping to avoid melting the cheesecake base.
  • Freeze immediately after coating to keep pops firm and prevent dripping.
