Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

½ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

½ cup crushed graham crackers (about 5-6 full sheets)

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)

Wooden popsicle sticks

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter. Stir well until the cracker crumbs are thoroughly moistened. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of each popsicle mold to create an even layer of crust. Place the molds in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to allow the crust to set.

    Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using a hand mixer or whisk until it becomes smooth and creamy. Add the Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are combined into a luscious and creamy filling. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, drizzle in the honey and mix until fully integrated.

      Incorporate the strawberries: Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the cheesecake mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; you want to retain some strawberry chunks for added texture and visual appeal.

        Assemble the pops: Take the popsicle molds out of the freezer. Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the chilled graham cracker crust in each mold, being cautious to leave about a quarter-inch of space at the top of the molds for expansion during freezing.

          Insert the sticks: Carefully place the wooden popsicle sticks into the center of each mold, ensuring they go deep enough to hold the pops stable.

            Freeze: Cover the molds with their respective lids or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze the pops for at least 4-6 hours, or until they are completely solid.

              Unmold the pops: To remove the pops, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen them. Gently pull on the sticks to release the cheesecake pops from the molds.

                Serve and enjoy: Enjoy the pops right away for the best texture, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for future indulgence.

                  Prep Time: 30 minutes | Total Time: 6 hours (including freezing) | Servings: 8 pops

                    - Presentation Tips: Serve the pops on a decorative platter, and consider garnishing with fresh strawberry slices or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra special touch.
