Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, cold

Chocolate Coating:

  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegetable shortening

Decorating:

  • Red candy melts
  • White candy melts
  • Blue candy melts
  • Patriotic sprinkles (optional)
  • Wooden popsicle sticks

Instructions

  1. MAKE THE CHEESECAKE FILLING: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
  2. COMBINE INGREDIENTS: Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the cream cheese and beat again until fully smooth and creamy.
  3. WHIP THE CREAM: In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form using a hand mixer on medium speed.
  4. FOLD IN THE WHIPPED CREAM: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  5. FREEZE THE MIXTURE: Line an 8×8 inch square pan with parchment paper, spread the cheesecake mixture into an even 1-inch thick layer, and freeze for 4 to 5 hours until firm.
  6. CUT OUT THE STARS: Remove the frozen cheesecake slab, use a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out stars, and insert popsicle sticks.
  7. PREPARE THE CHOCOLATE COATING: Melt the chocolate and coconut oil, dip the stars, and let them harden.
  8. DECORATE THE POPS: Drizzle melted candy melts over the chocolate-coated stars and add sprinkles.
  9. CHILL AND SERVE: Refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • For cleaner cuts, run the knife under hot water before slicing the cheesecake slab.
  • Feel free to customize with different colored candy melts or sprinkles for various occasions.
