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
  • 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.
