DIVA'S NATION GOES GA GA OVER CHEESECAKE POPS!

Ladies what a great way to have your cake and eat it too! Cheesecake pops is a fabulous upgrade to a childhood treat (lollipops). Making these baby's can give you that child-like feeling! So when you eat them, you instantly know you  have arrived to grown up status. 

Here is a recipe for you to create your own cheesecake pops.

CHEESECAKE POPS RECIPE

*Ingredients*
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
24 lollipop sticks
10 ounces white confectioners' coating
miniature semisweet chocolate chips
toasted coconut

*Directions*
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Beat cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Mix in the sour cream and blend thoroughly, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add the flour, vanilla and salt and mix well. Add the eggs one at a time, blending thoroughly before adding the next egg, but do not overbeat. Pour batter into a 9-inch springform pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the edges of the cake just begin to turn golden. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour, then refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.

Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out round balls of cheesecake. Roll them into 1 1/2-inch balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. Push a lollipop stick into each cheesecake ball. Place the tray in the freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.

Melt the white confectioners' coating (or semi-sweet chocolate). Dip each cheesecake pop into the melted coating. Then dip into one of the toppings. Place on waxed paper until coating is set. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Store in refrigerator.

*Oh so yummy!*
