These creamy frozen strawberry cheesecake popsicles combine a smooth, tangy filling with a crunchy graham cracker crust for a refreshing no-bake dessert perfect for summer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham crackers, crushed (about 150g)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (about 70g)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (about 225g)
  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped (about 225g)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (about 100g)
  • ½ cup heavy cream or full-fat coconut cream (about 120ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust (10 minutes): Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by hand. Mix crumbs with melted unsalted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press about 1 tablespoon of this mixture into the bottom of each popsicle mold, packing firmly and evenly. Freeze molds to set crust.
  2. Make the Strawberry Puree (5 minutes): Hull and roughly chop strawberries. Blend until smooth but slightly chunky. Add lemon juice if desired. Set aside.
  3. Mix the Cheesecake Filling (10 minutes): Beat softened cream cheese until creamy and lump-free. Add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well. Slowly fold in heavy cream or coconut cream until smooth and slightly fluffy.
  4. Combine Strawberry and Cheesecake Mixtures (5 minutes): Gently fold strawberry puree into cheesecake mixture to create a marbled effect without overmixing.
  5. Fill the Molds (5 minutes): Remove molds from freezer. Spoon cheesecake mixture over set crust, filling molds almost to the top. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until solid.
  6. Unmold and Serve: Run warm water briefly over molds to release popsicles. Serve immediately.

Notes

Softened cream cheese is key to avoid lumps. Do not overblend strawberries to keep texture. Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling. Freeze popsicles for at least 6 hours for best texture. Use silicone molds for easy unmolding or run warm water over molds before removing popsicles. Variations include using mixed berries, dairy-free cream cheese and coconut cream, adding chocolate swirl, or mixing nuts into crust.
