These popsicles are easy to make and require no baking, so they're perfect for a quick and easy dessert. Plus, they're loaded with fresh strawberry flavor and creamy cheesecake goodness - yum!
Mouth-Watering Strawberry Cheesecake Popsicles
I have a heart-on for basically anything chilly. Whether it's ice cream or just chilled cookies or truffles, I pretty much love a good cold treat.
For the win, though, is something that's both cold AND creamy. It's like that smooth and chilly deliciousness is just calling my name.
So I definitely got excited when I had the idea to make this epic strawberry popsicle crossed with a cheesecake. Simple, fast and fun, you're going to love it, no matter the weather!
What are some variations on this recipe?
If you're looking for a little extra sweetness, you can add a drizzle of honey or melted chocolate to the popsicles before freezing. Or, if you want to change up the flavor, try using different fruits in place of the strawberries. Blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries would all be delicious!
You could also include nuts - you could make this same recipe, but add some pecans and drizzle with caramel to make a turtle cheesecake popsicle.
Seriously, the options are never ending. Just think of your favorite cheesecake flavors and make it real!

What If You'd Rather Just Have This As Ice Cream?
If you're not in the mood for popsicles, you can always turn this Strawberry Cheesecake mixture into ice cream instead! Simply pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Serve with fresh strawberries and enjoy!
Can You Make This Strawberry Popsicle Gluten-Free?
