If you’re looking for a refreshing summer treat that tastes like dessert and sneaks in some protein, these Strawberry Cheesecake Popsicles are it! They’re creamy ad made with real strawberries, Greek yogurt, and a touch of coconut milk to make them extra creamy. The graham cracker crumbs give them that nostalgic cheesecake vibe, and they only take 10 minutes to prep before going into the freezer.
As someone who’s shared a lot of smoothie and frozen snack recipes over the years, many of which have gone viral on social media from Vegan Mango Lassi Popsicles to Raspberry Coconut Creamsicles or this Strawberry Smoothie Bowl, I know a thing or two about frozen treats. And trust me, this is one the whole family will love!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Fresh, real ingredients: Unlike many store-bought popsicles, these are made with fresh strawberries and real Greek yogurt.
- Creamy texture: The combo of yogurt and coconut milk makes these popsicles extra smooth and creamy. These Pina Colada Popsicles are also made with coconut milk and are creamy and delicious!
- High in protein: Thanks to the Greek yogurt, these popsicles have a little protein boost! For another protein-packed frozen treat try these Frozen Yogurt Cups!
- Easy to make: Just blend, pour, and freeze!
- Kid-approved: Naturally sweet and creamy, little ones love them too. (My toddler highly approves!)
Key Ingredients
- Strawberries: Fresh or frozen both work, but fresh gives the best flavour if you can get them! Use leftover strawberries to make a batch of Strawberry Chia Pudding.
- Plain Greek yogurt: I recommend using plain unsweetened yogurt. This will give you more control over how sweet you make the popsicles with the addition of maple syrup.

How To Make Strawberry Cheesecake Popsicles
Step 1: Peel, wash and cut the stems off the strawberries, then add them to a blender.
Step 2: Blend until smooth.
Step 3: Pour some of the strawberry purée into a popsicle mold, alternating between the strawberry purée and yogurt mixture.
Step 4: Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Recipe Variations
- Dairy-free: Swap the Greek yogurt for a thick dairy-free yogurt like coconut or almond yogurt.
- Different fruit: Try these with raspberries, blueberries like I use in these Blueberry Yogurt Popsicles, or a mix of berries for a twist on the classic.
How to Store
Once frozen solid, popsicles can be removed from the mould and transferred to a sealed container or freezer bag. Place parchment paper between layers if stacking. They’ll keep in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Jess’s Tips
- Use ripe strawberries: The sweeter your strawberries, the better the flavour. If they’re a bit tart, just add an extra drizzle of maple syrup. Use extra strawberries to make a batch of these Strawberry Watermelon Popsicles.
- Blend until smooth: For creamy popsicles, blend the strawberries until completely smooth with no chunks.
- Get them out of the mould easily: Run the popsicle mould under warm water for 10–15 seconds to loosen the popsicles for easy removal.
- Don’t skip the graham crumbs: They give that little nod to cheesecake crust that really makes these popsicles special.
- Taste before freezing: Give the mixture a quick taste after blending and adjust the sweetness if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, but keep in mind they won’t taste as good as fresh. Just let them thaw slightly before blending so they break down easily and blend smoothly.
Absolutely! You can use small paper cups and wooden sticks, or even an ice cube tray for mini popsicles.
