Ingredients
Cheesecake Mixture
- 350 g (1 1/2 cups) cream cheese, room temperature
- 75 g (2/3 cup) icing sugar (confectioners’ sugar), sifted
Chocolate Mixture
- 100 g (3.5 oz) dark chocolate, melted
Fruit Mixture
- 200 g (7 oz) cherry pie filling
Biscuit Crumbs
- 5 (approx 1/2 cup) digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed into fine crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the cheesecake base: Whisk together the cream cheese and icing sugar in a bowl until fluffy to create a smooth and sweet cheesecake mixture.
- Combine chocolate mixture: Half of the cream cheese mixture is added to the melted dark chocolate, stirring until fully combined, forming a rich chocolate cheesecake layer.
- Mix cherry cheesecake layer: The other half of the cream cheese mixture is combined with the cherry pie filling in a separate bowl to create a fruity cheesecake layer.
- Fill ice-lolly moulds: Carefully spoon or pipe the chocolate cheesecake mixture into the bottom of ten ice-lolly moulds, then top each with the cherry cheesecake mixture.
- Add biscuit crumbs and bind: Divide the crushed biscuit crumbs equally between each mould, gently stirring with a toothpick to lightly mix some crumbs into the cheesecake mixture. This binds the crumbs to prevent them from falling off when unmoulded.
- Insert sticks and freeze: Push ice lolly sticks into each mould and place the moulds in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours until fully set before removing and serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth and fluffy mixture.
- Use a piping bag or spoon to neatly layer mixtures into moulds for a better visual effect.
- Allow at least 4 hours freezing time for best texture and firmness.
- If desired, substitute digestive biscuits with gluten-free alternatives for dietary needs.
- For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle extra melted chocolate over the finished lollies before freezing.
