A quick and easy homemade dessert combining cream cheese, fresh strawberries, and Greek yogurt to create a smooth, tangy, and refreshing frozen treat perfect for summer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup, adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup milk, whole or plant-based
  • Optional: handful of strawberry pieces to fold in
  • Optional: graham cracker crumbs for layering or topping

Instructions

  1. Wash, hull, and slice about 2 cups of fresh strawberries. Set aside a few slices if you want to fold them in later for texture.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine 8 ounces softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1/4 cup milk. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Add the sliced strawberries to the blender and pulse a few times to combine, leaving small chunks. Alternatively, blend fully for a smoother result or fold in reserved strawberry pieces after blending.
  4. If desired, sprinkle a tablespoon of graham cracker crumbs into the bottom of each popsicle mold before pouring in the mixture.
  5. Pour the strawberry cheesecake mixture into the popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. Insert sticks.
  6. Freeze the molds for at least 6 hours or overnight without stirring or moving.
  7. To unmold, run warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds and serve immediately or store in a freezer-safe container for up to one week.

Notes

Soften cream cheese completely before blending for smooth texture. Avoid over-blending strawberries to keep small fruit chunks. Freeze overnight for best texture. Optional graham cracker crumbs add cheesecake texture. For dairy-free, use vegan cream cheese and coconut yogurt with plant-based milk.
