Cherry cheesecake balls are something that should be at every party. Just seeing these tasty little guys sitting on the dessert table is enough to start a stampede. These are out of this world – and you know what I think makes these different than any other cake pops? It’s the fact that there actually is a real cherry inside of these! Not just flavored cheesecake!
The kids love it when you let them help you out with these! Depending on their age, you could let them help with all the preparations. These are so easy the big kids could probably make these themselves!
Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
¼ cup sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
sour cherries, pitted
graham cracker crumbs
lollipop sticks
Instructions
Place the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the egg and mix until combined.
Pour into a muffin tin and bake at 325F for 20 minutes. Allow to fully cool in the pan.
Place the cheesecakes in a bowl and mash together with a spatula. Divide the mixture into 8 portions and shape them into disks. Place 1 cherry in the center of each disk and shape into a ball.
Roll the balls in the graham cracker crumbs and place on a plate lined with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Stick a lollipop stick into the center of each cake pop and place in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, until the cake pops stiffen enough to stay onto the lollipop sticks. Remove from the freezer and enjoy!
