Ingredients
  

Cheesecake Base
  • 8 oz cream cheese consider using neufchâtel cheese for a lighter option
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar swap with granulated erythritol for a low-calorie variant
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract opt for pure vanilla for best taste
  • 1 cup whipped topping substitute with a dairy-free option for a vegan treat
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs choose gluten-free crumbs for a gluten-free version
Blackberry Swirl
  • 1 cup blackberries can be replaced with raspberries or mixed berries for variety
Coating and Decoration
  • 12 oz dark chocolate melting wafers vegan chocolate is an excellent alternative
  • 1 tbsp edible glitter optional, adds a magical flair
  • crushed graham crackers/nuts & candy eyes additional decorative options

Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • large mixing bowl
  • electric mixer
  • parchment-lined baking sheet
  • Cookie scoop
  • microwave-safe bowl
  • fine mesh sieve

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine fresh blackberries, granulated sugar, and a splash of lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the blackberries burst. Once thickened, remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to achieve a smooth compote. Let it cool completely while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add in vanilla extract and whipped topping, mixing until well combined. Gently fold in graham cracker crumbs and half of the cooled blackberry compote.
  3. Using a small cookie scoop, portion the cheesecake mixture into tablespoon-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and insert lollipop sticks into each ball. Freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
  4. Melt chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals until smooth. Dip each pop into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before placing back on the parchment-lined sheet.
  5. While the coating is still wet, sprinkle edible glitter or crushed graham crackers. Drizzle remaining blackberry compote over the tops and chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to set the coating.
