Yum! A great selection of beautiful and yummy-looking recipes just arrived in my inbox, courtesy of Hearst Magazines! I’ll be sharing each of these new recipes throughout the next week to give you some inspiration for fun, frozen treats!

Cheesecake Lollipops Recipe

• 1 cup cold milk {1% milk fat or greater}
• 1 package (11.1 oz.) no-bake cheesecake mix (without crust packet)
• 1 cup finely crushed chocolate wafers or chocolate sandwich cookies
• 1 package (12 oz.) chocolate chips
• 2 tsp. vegetable shortening
• Garnishes: sprinkles, crushed nuts, and/or mini chocolate chips

1. Add milk and cheesecake filling mix to a large bowl. With electric mixer on low speed, beat until combined. Increase speed to medium and beat about 3 minutes, or until thick. Stir in crushed cookies. Cover bowl and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

2. Line baking sheet with parchment. With moistened hands, roll cheesecake mixture by tablespoonful into 30 balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Insert lollipop stick into each ball; freeze about 2 to 3 hours, or until firm.

3. In small saucepan on low, melt chocolate chips and shortening stirring until smooth. Spread out garnishes on parchment.

4. Remove pops from freezer. Carefully dip each pop into melted chocolate, turning to coat, then roll it in your choice of garnishes and return to baking sheet. Freeze at least 2 hours, or until ready to serve.
