Creating This Cheesecake Popsicle Recipe

Lately, I’ve been loving no-bake cheesecake recipes. When playing around with a mint chocolate version of no-bake cheesecakes recently, it occurred to me that freezing the base recipe might mean pretty phenomenal mint chocolate cheesecake popsicles.

At first, I was a bit skeptical that the base would actually freeze, but let me tell you, these chocolate-covered popsicles were a raging success.

The frozen whipped topping and cream cheese allow the popsicle to maintain a slight softness – almost like a fudgesicle.

Combine that winning texture with the crunch of magic shell and the coolness from chopped up mint chocolate cookies and you have a dessert to remember!

How to Make Mint Chocolate Cheesecake Popsicles

These mint chocolate-covered popsicles are so easy to make, but you do have to be patient enough to let them freeze completely before digging in.

1. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy.
2. Add in the extracts and mix until well combined.
3. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the thawed whipped topping. Fold in mint chocolate cookies.
4. Spoon the filling into a pastry bag or large zip-top bag. Snip enough of the end off the bag to allow you to pipe the mixture into your popsicle molds.
5. Once your molds are full, gently tap the popsicle mold base on the countertop to help release any air pockets.
6. Freeze according to the manufacturer’s directions. 
7. Garnish each popsicle with magic shell and chopped cookies just before serving.

Tools Needed for This Recipe

• Popsicle mold: This is the mold we use, and we love it!
• Popsicle sticks: If your mold comes with reusable sticks or inserts, use those. Otherwise, buy classic popsicle sticks.
• Hand mixer: You can make this recipe using a metal whisk, but an electric hand mixer makes things so much easier!

Tips for Making Cheesecake Popsicles

• If you have an issue releasing your popsicles from the molds, run a little warm water along the sides of the molds, this will usually cause them to release with ease.
• If you cannot find the Andes Creme de Menthe Cookies, feel free to substitute Mint Oreos.
• I have not attempted this recipe with a substitute for the frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip).
• Due to the soft texture of this recipe, it is not recommended for use in a Zoku Quick Pop Maker.
