How to Make It

Create your blueberry cheesecake popsicles in just a few simple steps.

Heat Blueberries

Add blueberries and sugar to a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until blueberries start to release their juices and create a syrupy liquid. Remove from heat and cool.

Mix Cream Cheese

Beat cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Add yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat again until combined.

Prepare Crust Mixture

In a separate bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar, stirring until moistened.

Assemble Popsicles

Fill each ice pop mold 3/4 full by alternating with small spoonfuls of blueberry mixture and cream cheese mixture. Swirl with a skewer. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top of each ice pop. Place a popsicle stick in the center of each mold.

Freeze Popsicles

Freeze for 4 hours or overnight before unmolding.

How to Store It
