What do you need for making these popsicles
Apart from the below ingredients you will also need popsicle sticks and silicone popsicle molds for making this strawberry cheesecake popsicle recipe. And once you have all the ingredients it’s the easiest thing to make. Check the recipe card for full details
- cream cheese – use your favorite brand
- sugar – I use fine granulated sugar
- vanilla extract
- heavy cream – or whipping cream
- milk
- fresh strawberries – you can also use frozen strawberries if strawberries are not in season. But fresh is still best.
If you want it to be even more like cheesecake another great option is to add graham cracker crumbs to the ice cream as well. Graham crackers is the logical choice since that is most often used as a crust, but you could absolutely use other cookies as well. I’ll explain how to do that below.
Making the popsicles
As I mentioned before, making these strawberry cheesecake popsicles is super easy. The hardest part is collection the ingredients (and that’s easy too)!
You just add all the ingredients to a food processor or a blender, blend until smooth and pour into your favorite ice cream mold. You can also turn this into ice cream bars or make ice cream waffles by adding the frozen popsicles on vanilla wafers.
Since the fruit is so soft you don’t really need a high-powered blender for making this, but if you use harder fruits that might be a good choice for the smoothest result.
You can use an ice cream maker if you have one but I usually just pop them in the freezer. They will need about 3 to 4 hours to freeze completely.
Now if you want to add that graham cracker crust to the popsicles you fill the entire mold a little less full and sprinkle the crumbs on top. Making layers is also an option and you can absolutely add your favorite flavors to the mixture. I find it a perfect way to eat a little more fruit during warmer weather.
