These Raspberry Cheesecake Zombie Popsicles are the coolest frozen treats you'll ever make! The bloody-looking 3-D zombie pops will be perfect for a Halloween, Walking Dead, Z Nation, or iZombie party.
I am so excited to share these Zombie Popsicles with you. How cool are they???
When I found the Tovolo Zombie Pops Molds on Amazon, I just had to have them. Not only do the silicone molds create four super realistic-looking three-dimensional zombie popsicles but they also come with legs instead of sticks. Each set of legs matches one of the four zombies.
Plus, the part of the popsicle stick that goes into the pop has a rib cage and spinal cord so when you eat your pops it appears as though you are really eating a zombie. Gross, right? In a good way, though!
The detail in the molds is seriously amazing.
When the box arrived, I immediately stopped what I was doing and got the molds washed so I could start experimenting.
I knew I wanted my zombie popsicles to look eerily white and bloody so I played around using different white liquids, like white Gatorade and some coconut drinks. They were all too thin and the fruit puree blood just blended in, making the pops look pink.
Earlier this summer I made Berry Cheesecake Galaxy Popsicles and had experimented with a lot of variations of the recipe and decided to go that route.
Instructions
Be sure to watch the video to see how to make these popsicle zombies.
NOTES:
- To make the blood, I used raspberry puree mixed with some simple syrup, which keeps it from freezing too solid.
- The zombie bodies are made with a blend of cream cheese, simple syrup, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla.
- I used vanilla bean paste which gives the pops the most amazing flavor, plus it adds little flecks of black throughout giving the zombies an aged appearance. You can use pure vanilla extract if you prefer, but seriously, I recommend investing in some of the vanilla bean paste. I use it whenever I bake and love it.

I'm ordering these zombie popsicle molds today, thanks for sharing these amazing popsicles! I'm wondering if you made raspberry puree or used a premade one? I'm excited to make these!

Have fun making your pops! I made my own raspberry puree. I just thawed out frozen raspberries, pressed them through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds. You can also just through the frozen raspberries in a saucepan and heat them until they are soft enough to press through the sieve.
