I set out to find what in my pantry would help me create the most 'cheesecake' like taste when making a strawberry cheesecake popsicle....below you can see some of the things I tried
Vanilla wafers, Cupcake Goldfish, Cinnamon Squares cereal, Graham Crackers |
You can use a blender, I just used a small screen in my food mill to process the sugared strawberries |
INGREDIENTS:
- Strawberries (I used one container which is about 16 oz)
- Ideal sugar (as needed with strawberries)
Cheesecake
- 4 oz Fat Free cream cheese
- 3 oz crumbled cookie (graham crackers or vanilla goldfish or cinnamon squared cereal or Vanilla wafers, etc...) **adjust amount as desired-I used only 3 oz to keep calories and processed food use to a minimum in this recipe**
- 1/4 cup greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup Ideal sugar
**We preferred the cinnamon squares popsicles but the grahams tasted most cheesecake like**
DIRECTIONS:
- Mix strawberries and sugar then blend or process in a food mill until a thick but pourable mixture is achieved.
- Mix cream cheese, yogurt, and sugar until well combined then fold in cookie crumbles.
- Layer cheesecake followed by strawberry in whatever combination you want, for best layers freeze for 5 mins or so between layering (I did not do this and found they came out ok without but they would probably be cleaner)
- Freeze and enjoy
