Ingredients

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

Directions

  1. Line the bottom of a 9-in. springform pan with parchment; coat paper and side of pan with cooking spray.
  2. 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.
  3. Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° until center is almost set, 45-50 minutes. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. In a microwave, melt white chips and shortening at 70% power; stir until smooth. Place toppings in shallow bowls. Dip cheesecake pops in white chip mixture; allow excess to drip off. Roll in toppings. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Store in the refrigerator.
