Ingredients

3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
45 lollipop sticks (4 inches long)
3 packages (10 to 12 ounces each) vanilla or white chips
3 tablespoons shortening
Toppings: grated coconut, grated chocolate, assorted sprinkles and chopped nuts

Directions

Line the bottom of a 9-in. springform pan with parchment paper; coat paper and sides of pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in sour cream and vanilla until blended. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour into prepared pan.
Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Cover and freeze overnight.
Remove from the freezer and let stand for 30 minutes. Place cracker crumbs in a shallow bowl. Working quickly, scoop out 1-in. balls of cheesecake; roll each in cracker crumbs and insert a lollipop stick. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Freeze for 1 hour or until firm.
In a microwave, melt vanilla chips and shortening at 70% power; stir until smooth. Place toppings in shallow bowls. Dip cheesecake pops in vanilla chip mixture; allow excess to drip off. Roll in toppings. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 45 cheesecake pops.

Made this for my sister's baby shower. It was a hit!

excellent recipe. they take some time to make but are defiantly worth the effort. I sent some to work with my husband a few months ago and the guys keeps asking for me to make some more. Big hit at party's.

I made these for a friends birthday a few years ago and now make them all the time for everyone in attendance! I will say that I leave out the graham cracker part - it takes too much time with not a lot of pay off - and when I'm in a "bind" I just go and buy a simple cheesecake and then "cheat" to dip them that way - but either way - it is wonderful!

Really wanted to like these. Way too much work for the end result. Should have just made a delicious cheesecake.

Reviewed on May. 11, 2010 by schade

I have'nt made them yet, but they look adorable, is there a chocolate version of these?

Reviewed on Mar. 28, 2010 by Carrie_J85

I made these the first time for a friend's birthday about a year ago. Now every time there is a special occasion, someone requests these pops. It does require lots of work and patience, but the end result is absolutely worth it.
