A quick and easy homemade treat combining creamy cheesecake base with fresh strawberry puree, perfect for warm days and nostalgic summer moments.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) plain whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 1 ½ cups (225 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped
  • ½ cup (100 g) sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ cup (120 ml) milk

Instructions

  1. Rinse and hull about 1 ½ cups (225 g) of fresh strawberries. Roughly chop them, then place in your blender or food processor. Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Blend until you get a smooth puree with small bits of fruit still visible (about 1-2 minutes). Set aside.
  2. Soften the cream cheese by leaving it out at room temperature for about 30 minutes or microwaving in 10-second bursts until soft but not melted.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese and 1 cup (240 ml) of plain Greek yogurt until completely smooth and creamy. Add ½ cup (100 g) sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, whisking to combine.
  4. Slowly add ½ cup (120 ml) of milk to the cream cheese mixture, whisking continuously to keep it smooth and slightly pourable.
  5. Gently fold half of the strawberry puree into the cream cheese mixture, swirling it lightly to create a marbled effect. Save the other half for layering.
  6. Spoon a layer of the marbled cheesecake mixture into your popsicle molds, about halfway. Add a spoonful of the remaining strawberry puree on top, then fill the rest of the mold with the cheesecake mixture. Use a skewer or knife to swirl the layers gently for a pretty pattern.
  7. Place the popsicle sticks in the center of each mold. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully solid.
  8. To release the popsicles easily, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds. Serve immediately.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps. Use fresh strawberries for best flavor or thaw frozen berries and drain excess liquid. Swirl strawberry puree gently for a marbled effect. Run warm water on molds to unmold popsicles easily. Store in airtight container up to 2 weeks.
