The possibilities are endless with these cute bites of deliciousness. You can customize them for any occasion by using different toppings and changing the type of chocolate.
This year, I wanted to try something new in our Valentine’s Day celebration. Cheesecake is one of our favorite treats, and to have it on a stick covered in chocolate, well, who wouldn’t love such a thing?! These Cheesecake Pops are incredibly simple to make!
First, you will make a large cheesecake with no crust. It needs to be completely cool before turning it into these yummy cheesecake pops.
The next day, using a small scoop, scoop out 2 TB or so of the cheesecake and place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Once you have scooped the entire pan, place lollipop sticks into the center of each pop, going about half-way into the center. Place tray, uncovered, in the freezer for about 2 hours.
About 15 minutes before you are ready to dip, melt chocolate chips or candy melts with a TB or so of vegetable shortening. For my recipe, I used a 12 oz bag of Hershey’s chocolate chips with 1 TB of Spectrum non-hydrogenated shortening in the Wilton Chocolate Melting Pot.
Once the chocolate is ready, take pops out of the freezer and begin dipping each in the chocolate.
Since the chocolate is warm and the pops are cold, be as rapid as you can with the dipping step. Once dipped, place back on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet.
If you prefer to have stand up pops with a round bottom, place the stick end into a foil covered block of styrofoam to dry and set up.
If you are not standing these up, go ahead and sprinkle with your choice of toppings. We used sprinkles for ours.
Store the cheesecake pops in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy, but be forewarned, these are YUMMY! We had quite an array of goodies for Valentine’s Day.

I will have to try these as the look yummy and I just love my cheesecake. I will you know how I made out. Thanks for all the details…
I guess I will have to get one of the chocolate melting pots. It looks so much easier than the other way and I don’t like using the Microwave.
Laurie says
It’s much easier using that little pot. I actually found mine at Goodwill on their half-price day, so I only paid $2.50 for it. But, so much easier than even using the double boiler. 🙂
