Blueberry Cheesecake Popsicles Recipe

Introduction

These Blueberry Cheesecake Popsicles offer a creamy, fruity treat that’s perfect for warm days. Combining the richness of cream cheese with fresh blueberries, they’re refreshing and satisfying without being overly sweet.

The image shows six creamy white popsicles with small bits of dark blueberries and nuts inside, arranged on top of ice cubes in a dark metal tray placed on a white marbled wooden surface. Each popsicle has a wooden stick, with some sticks overlapping and crossing each other. Three of the popsicles have a smooth, rounded top while the other three have a slight bite taken out of them near the top, exposing a creamy inside mixed with bits. Around the tray, there are scattered dark blueberries and a glass jar filled with blueberries on the upper right side, and a small glass bowl with pecan pieces on the lower left side. The overall look is fresh and inviting, with a cool tone due to the ice and white marbled wood. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cottage cheese or Greek yogurt
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 6 tbsp swerve (or erythritol, or monk fruit sweetener; can also use granulated sugar)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 2/3 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 2 tbsp almond flour
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
  • 3 tsp sweetener of choice
  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Add all your popsicle ingredients except the blueberries (cottage cheese or yogurt, cream cheese, sweetener, vanilla extract, salt, and optional protein powder) to a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl, add the blueberries, and gently combine them by folding in to keep the berries mostly whole.
  3. Step 3: Pour or spoon the mixture into your popsicle molds, filling each almost to the top. Leave about ½ inch of space for the pecan crumble.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, mix together the chopped pecans, almond flour, melted butter or coconut oil, sweetener, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until crumbly.
  5. Step 5: Spoon a little pecan crumble into the bottom of each mold and gently press it down with the back of a spoon to form a crust.
  6. Step 6: Tap the molds gently on the counter to release air bubbles, insert the sticks, and freeze for at least 4–6 hours or overnight for best results.
  7. Step 7: To serve, run the outside of the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the popsicles, then carefully remove and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

  • Use Greek yogurt for a thicker texture or cottage cheese for added protein and creaminess.
  • Try frozen blueberries to keep the mixture cool while blending and add a slight chill to the popsicles.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute the pecan crumble with crushed graham crackers or toasted oats.
  • Add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the mixture to brighten the flavor and balance the sweetness.

Storage

Store the popsicles in their molds or an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To prevent freezer burn, wrap them individually in plastic wrap if removing from molds. Reheat by letting them sit at room temperature for a few minutes or running the mold under warm water before serving.

How to Serve

The image shows several small bowls and a white plate arranged on a white marbled surface. The white plate in the center holds a solid block of cream cheese with a smooth, off-white texture. Around it, there is a white bowl full of fresh, dark blue blueberries at the top left. A white bowl at the top right contains thick, creamy white yogurt. A small glass bowl near the center top holds white granulated sugar. Below it is another glass bowl with a light brown powder, possibly flour or almond meal. At the bottom right, a glass bowl is filled with chopped pecans in various shades of brown. Next to it, another glass bowl holds a mixture of white sugar and cinnamon powder. There is also a small glass bowl with a pale yellow powder near the bottom left and a glass bowl with two cubes of pale yellow butter near the left side. A small glass container near the left side holds a dark liquid, likely vanilla extract. The setup is clean and bright with a neat, organized look. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use other berries instead of blueberries?

Absolutely! Raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries work well and bring different flavors and colors to the popsicles.

Do I need a popsicle mold to make these?

While popsicle molds make shaping and freezing easier, you can also use small paper cups with popsicle sticks or even ice cube trays for bite-sized treats.

Ingredients

Scale

Popsicle Mixture

  • 2 cups cottage cheese or Greek yogurt
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 6 tbsp swerve (or erythritol, or monk fruit sweetener; can also use granulated sugar)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)

Pecan Crumble

  • 2/3 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 2 tbsp almond flour
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
  • 3 tsp sweetener of choice
  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Popsicle Mixture: Add all the popsicle ingredients except the blueberries into a blender. Blend until you get a smooth, creamy consistency with no lumps.
  2. Incorporate Blueberries: Transfer the blended mixture to a separate bowl. Gently fold in the blueberries to keep them intact, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
  3. Fill the Molds: Pour or spoon the cheesecake mixture into your popsicle molds, filling each about three-quarters full. Leave approximately half an inch of space at the top for the pecan crumble crust.
  4. Prepare the Pecan Crumble: In a small bowl, combine finely chopped pecans, almond flour, melted butter or coconut oil, sweetener, cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes crumbly and cohesive.
  5. Add the Crust Layer: Spoon some of the pecan crumble mixture into the bottom of each mold. Press gently with the back of a spoon to form a compact crust layer beneath the cheesecake mixture.
  6. Remove Air Bubbles and Freeze: Tap the molds gently on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or ideally overnight, until fully set.
  7. Unmold and Serve: When ready to enjoy, run the outside of each popsicle mold under warm water for a few seconds. This loosens the popsicles, allowing them to pop out easily.

Notes

  • Using Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese gives a tangier and thicker flavor profile.
  • You can substitute the sweetener with granulated sugar if preferred, but the nutritional content will vary.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the pecan crumble or substitute with crushed seeds.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier blending and a smoother texture.
  • Adding protein powder is optional and can boost the nutrition without affecting taste significantly.
  • Use silicone popsicle molds for easier unmolding.
