Ingredients

  • 1 Cup cookie crumbs I used digestive cookies
  • 3 Tbsp. butter melted
  • 2 Cup cherries pitted and divided
  • 2 Tbsp. water
  • 1/2 Cup granulated sugar divided
  • 1 8 Oz. cream cheese
  • 1 Cup Milk

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter. Set aside
  • To a blender, add 1½ cups pitted cherries, water and 2 Tbsp. sugar. Blender until pureed.  Rinse the blender.
  • To the blender, add cream cheese, milk and remaining 6 Tbsp. of sugar. Blend until smooth.
  • Divide the mixture in 2, and mix one half with the puréed cherries to make the cherry cream cheese mix.
  • Slice the remaining ½ cup cherries in half.
  • In half of the molds, put cherry slices and fill up with plain cream cheese mix. Fill up the other half of the molds with cherry cream cheese mix.
  • Fill up popsicle molds with cream cheese and fruit mix only 2/3 of the way full.
  • Top with cookie mixture and gently press into the mold.
  • Cover the popsicle mold and insert the popsicles sticks.
  • Freeze for at least 8 hours (preferably overnight).
  • To serve, run popsicle mold under warm water for 5 to 10 seconds to easily remove the popsicles.   

Notes

  •     If you would like the popsicles to be more or less sweet, add or reduce the sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, to your liking.
  •     You can substitute digestive cookies for other types of cookies like graham crackers, gingersnaps, shortbread etc.
  •     Cherries can be substituted for other fruits such as berries, peaches, mango etc. Use ripe fruits for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  •     These pops melt pretty fast so only remove from the freezer when ready to serve.
