Berry Cheesecake Galaxy Popsicles

Blend together blueberries and raspberries with lusciously creamy cheesecake to make these out of this world Berry Cheesecake Galaxy Popsicles.

Have you made your own homemade popsicles yet this summer. Or ever?

I had not made any since childhood and wanted to make sure that these galaxy popsicles not only looked really cool but also tasted amazing too. It took a bit of work to get this recipe just right.

I wanted the cheesecake part of the popsicles to be creamy and smooth like ice cream and I felt it would be best for the fruit pop to be a bit soft too so that you could easily bite into these pops and I found after a bit of experimenting that simple syrup, a solution of sugar and water, added to the fruit and cheesecake filling kept my popsicles from becoming too hard in the freezer.

The combination of the berries and cheesecakes is fantastic and the colors imparted by the fruit lent to the outer space look I wanted in my galaxy pops. I did have to pump up the blue color in the blueberries a bit, but only needed a few drops of blue food coloring. Otherwise these pops are colored by the raspberries and blueberries.

To add a bit of sparkle to these galaxy pops, I used edible silver luster dust and some silver star sprinkles. I found some Wilton Silver Star Sprinkles at Christmas, but I can’t seem to find them on Amazon to link to them below. You could use edible silver confetti stars or white stars. I’ve shared some links below the video.
