Equipment

• Popsicle molds
• Popsicle sticks
• Mixing bowls
• Hand mixer or stand mixer
• Silicone spatula
• Small spoon (for swirling)
• Skewer or butter knife

Ingredients

Cheesecake Base

• 8 oz cream cheese softened
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Bubblegum Swirl

• ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
• ½–1 tsp bubblegum extract start small—this stuff is strong
• Pink food coloring pastel is cuter 💗

Optional Add-Ins

• Mini rainbow sprinkles
• White chocolate chips
• Crushed pink wafer cookies

Instructions

Make the Cheesecake Base

• In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
• Add heavy cream, condensed milk, vanilla, and salt. Beat again until thick, creamy, and spoonable.

Create the Bubblegum Swirl

• In a separate bowl, stir together condensed milk, bubblegum extract, and a few drops of pink food coloring until evenly colored.

Assemble the Popsicles

• Spoon cheesecake mixture into popsicle molds, filling about ⅔ full.
• Add small spoonfuls of the bubblegum mixture.
• Swirl gently with a skewer or butter knife (don’t overmix—you want ribbons).
• Sprinkle in any add-ins if using.

Freeze

• Insert popsicle sticks.
• Freeze at least 6 hours or overnight until fully solid.

Unmold & Serve

• Run molds briefly under warm water and gently release. Admire the pastel magic ✨

Notes

• Bubblegum extract is very strong. Start with ½ teaspoon and increase gradually. Too much can make the pops taste artificial or bitter.
• Soften the cream cheese fully before mixing to avoid grainy texture. If needed, microwave unwrapped for 10–15 seconds.
• Do not over-swirl. A light swirl creates pretty ribbons and keeps the bubblegum flavor distinct. Overmixing will turn the pops solid pink and mute the cheesecake flavor.
• For easier unmolding, briefly run the molds under warm (not hot) water for 5–10 seconds.
• Pastel coloring works best. Deep pink can visually overpower the cheesecake vibe and make the pops look less creamy.
• Texture is ultra-creamy, not icy. This recipe is closer to frozen cheesecake than a traditional water-based popsicle.
• Mini pops freeze faster and release more cleanly than full-size molds.
• Sprinkles should be added last so they don’t sink or bleed color into the base.
• Storage: Store unmolded popsicles wrapped individually in parchment and placed in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 weeks.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these popsicles without bubblegum extract?

Yes. You can substitute cotton candy extract or vanilla extract for a milder, less nostalgic flavor. The pops will still be creamy, but they won’t have the classic bubblegum taste.

Do these taste more like cheesecake or ice cream?

They taste closer to frozen cheesecake than ice cream. The texture is dense, rich, and creamy rather than light or icy.

Can I make these ahead for a party?

Absolutely. These popsicles can be made up to 2 weeks in advance and stored in the freezer, making them perfect for birthdays or summer events.

Are these safe for kids?

Yes. There is no alcohol or raw eggs in this recipe. Just be mindful of food coloring and extract strength if serving to very young children.

Can I use silicone molds instead of plastic?

Yes. Silicone molds work especially well for this recipe and make unmolding easier.

Why did my popsicles freeze unevenly?

Uneven freezing can happen if the freezer temperature fluctuates or if the molds are overfilled. Place the molds on a flat surface in the coldest part of your freezer for best results.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes. This recipe scales well. Mix each batch separately for the best texture and consistent bubblegum flavor.
