Ok - Really - these are cheescake pops - DELICIOUS and (although time consuming, yet easy). This month I was finally challenged to bake in a water bath (not being a fan of flan, or brulee, or any such such, I've never really had much reason for a water bath).
At any rate - on with the show:
This is finally in the pan. Because I made a half a batch (this month's challenge happened the same weekend as my daughter's birthday - and THAT much dessert in the house is dangerous at best) I opted to use my hand mixer instead of my Kitchenaid. It was a bit of a strain on the poor thing, but it worked well.
Out of the oven. I think I MIGHT have cooked it a wee bit too long, but it smelled awesome! After this, it was left to cool to room temp, then wrapped up and thrown in the fridge overnight.

After all of the "chillin'" (overnight in the fridge) there was some scooping (which didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped/anticipated, but tidied up after a little cool-palmed rolling). Then back into the cold (this time the freezer) for a number of hours. Then a nice warm chocolate dip (making me think a lot of the nordic sauna process) and a roll in the pretty pretty, and voila - yummy deliciousness in a tidy little bite size. My family LOVED these... me too!

For some reason I thought I was going to scoop out perfect little melonish balls of cheesecake. I was a fool. Your pops look great though!
Great job! They look totally yummy.
Ugh, I know what you mean about getting into shape & trying to just live better - unfortunately! :P LOL Of course, being a Daring Baker is counter to all of that, but I can't help it. I'm enjoying it so much!
Great job they look deelish!
They look sooo yummy! mmmmm.
Can't wait to see you next week! OH! Lil'Kate was hoping she could come see you that night too??
Let me (or her) know!
Such cute pops! Glad that you loved 'em...me too :)
I'm so glad you loved these - I only made a half batch, but now I'm wishing I would have done the whole thing so I would have more in the freezer to snack on! Great job on this challenge!
Thanks for the wonderful comment you left on my blog!
Despite the messiness, the pops you came out with look delicious! I think, if I did this next time, I might use nonpareils because of the crunch and it also looks cute!
