2. Ingredients

Gather your ingredients for these魔法(magical) Harry Potter Butterbeer Cheesecake Pops. Using high-quality ingredients ensures the best flavor and texture for your themed snacks. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 cup crushed graham crackers – Provides the perfect crumbly base.
• 4 tablespoons melted butter – Binds the graham cracker crust together.
• 16 oz cream cheese, softened – The foundation of the creamy cheesecake filling.
• 1 cup powdered sugar – Sweetens the cheesecake and gives it a smooth texture.

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Enhances the overall flavor profile.
• 1/2 teaspoon salt – Balances the sweetness.
• Chocolate or white chocolate for coating – Adds a decadent outer layer.
• Sprinkles for garnish (optional) – For an extra touch of magic and fun!

3. Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Base

Start your magical adventure by creating the base for your cheesecake pops. In a bowl, combine 1 cup of crushed graham crackers with 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated. Ensure the butter is evenly distributed to create a solid crust. This mixture will serve as the delicious crust for your Harry Potter Butterbeer Cheesecake Pops!

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Mixture

In a separate bowl, blend together 16 oz of softened cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 cup of butterscotch sauce, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Make sure the cream cheese is properly softened to avoid lumps in your mixture.

Your cheesecake filling is now ready to be combined with the crust, creating the heart of your delectable butterbeer dessert!

Step 3: Assemble the Pops

Fill your popsicle molds halfway with the graham cracker mixture, then add the cheesecake filling on top. Be gentle to maintain distinct layers. Use a stick to swirl the two layers together lightly, ensuring a beautiful mix. Avoid over-swirling to keep some separation between the crust and filling. Freeze your molds for at least 4 hours or until solid. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture for your themed snacks.

Step 4: Add the Golden Butterscotch Drizzle

Once your Harry Potter Butterbeer Cheesecake Pops are frozen, remove them from the molds. Melt some chocolate or white chocolate for coating and dip each pop into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. A double boiler or microwave at 30-second intervals works best for melting the chocolate. Finally, drizzle or dip the pops with warm butterscotch sauce for that magical finish! A generous drizzle will enhance both the flavour and visual appeal of these enchanting pops. To take your creativity to another level I recommmend to try my Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipes.

4. Storage Tips

Your Harry Potter Butterbeer Cheesecake Pops can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. For maximum freshness, consider wrapping each pop individually in parchment paper before placing them in the container. Just make sure they’ve cooled off completely after dipping before placing them in the container to avoid freezer burn. Properly stored, these cheesecake pops will be ready whenever you need a touch of magic. If you are a chocolate lover, you might want to try my Double Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Cookies!
