The pops are created in several steps- Make the cheesecake in a regular cake pan, firm it up in the fridge, scoop it out and place a lollipop stick inside each ball, freeze until firm, and then dip and decorate.
At our local cake decorating supply store, I pick up 4 flavors of Guittard Chocolate Company’s A’Peels, lollipop sticks and sprinkles galor. The A’Peels are the little wafer-shaped pieces that melt easily. They don’t need to be tempered and they come in a whole bunch of different flavors and colors. They’re fun for dipping!! Guittard’s orange variety has a pretty color. It’s actually very flavorful too.
The butterscotch disks are our favorite flavor. They pair nicely with pastel sprinkles, and I tied on pink bows for added cute factor. I thought these might be fun for a baby shower. The white chocolate disks provide the most flexibility for added decor. Wouldn’t these be perfect for the 4th of July? These pops are almost as good as a slice of my favorite cheesecake. I keep mine in the freezer for several days- they are quite good when eaten frozen solid. If they’re left at room temperature for too long, you might need a fork to eat them as they tend to soften up some. The best part about the pops is that they’re as delicious as they are adorable.
