2. Ingredients
Before we begin crafting these magical Hogwarts Butterbeer Cheesecake pops, let’s gather our ingredients. This magical dessert requires a blend of simple and flavorful components to create a truly enchanting treat:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped cream
- ½ cup butterscotch sauce (for that authentic butterbeer flavor, and if you like it, check out other recipes with butterscotch!)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (for drizzle)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for drizzle)
3. Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly mixed. Press the mixture into the bottom of pop molds to form a crust. This forms the foundation for your enchanted cheesecake pops, providing a delightful contrast to the creamy filling.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Mixture
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, butterscotch sauce, and vanilla extract until well combined. Fold in the whipped cream to create a light and airy cheesecake filling. Carefully pour this magical cheesecake mixture into the molds over the graham cracker crust. Remember, the key to a great cheesecake filling is ensuring your cream cheese is properly softened. If you’re a Harry Potter fan, check out our other Harry Potter themed recipes! This process helps create the perfect butterbeer dessert base.
Step 3: Freeze the Cheesecake Pops
Place the filled molds in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake pops are solid. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture for your Hogwarts Butterbeer Cheesecake Pops. Patience is key here; the longer they freeze, the better the texture will be for these magical desserts. You might also enjoy some of our other pops recipes!
Step 4: Drizzle with Chocolate
Once frozen, melt the chocolate chips with vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Remove the pops from the molds and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the melted chocolate over each cheesecake pop, creating a gorgeous finish. Let them cool and harden before serving. This chocolate drizzle not only adds a touch of elegance but also complements the butterbeer flavor beautifully. If you don’t want to make that, check out our recipes
