DBC - Cheesecake Pops :)

OK, so here are a few of the pics I took of my DBC this month. Yes, I know I'm a late poster.

So sue me! hahaha :)

Here is a picture of my coworkers. We are all enjoying YUMMY cheesecake! :)
Back Row: (From left to right) Lauren, JR, Warren, Richard, Donny, Richard.
Front row: Sharon, Mika, Wendy

So pretty you could almost eat it... wait... almost??? ;)

I had to drizzle choco, because the cheesecake didn't really stick to the lolipop stick as tightly as I expected. The chocolate (once it hardened) really helped keep the cheesecake attached though.

I had to package the pops for transport to work.

My "cheesy" cheesecake transport system. haha... a styrofoam star from the craft store. It actually worked surprisingly well!!! :)

The girls, hoggin the cheesecake! :)

Not every cheesecake pop made the cut for the coworkers.... :(

Not every cheesecake pop even turned into a pop at all!!!! Some were SUPER sad.

Unwrapped.

I had a LOT of ideas for yummy flavors. Banana and peanutbutter, heath bar, caramel, coconut, slivered almonds, cinamon chip... because I had sooo much trouble getting the cheesecake to stick to the pops, I just kept it simple. There were a few heath bar pops and this one banana pop, other than that, plain choco all the way... maybe next time...

DBC - cheesecake pops

Ok, so i know the rules of the daring bakers, but i have had NO time lately I completed the challenge but i have yet to post. Im sooo sorry.

I made the pops one sunday evening and brought them to work for my peeps to enjoy there. : ) it was really fun, and my co-workers really seemed to enjoy the pops.

He cheeecake pops were super yummy, but that they werent as easy to handle as i expected. My pops never really adhered to the sticks and i spent a lot of time trying to gingerly hold em and add the chocolate/toppings. I ended up putting the choco topping in a pastry bag and piping it on. That seemed to be my only option if i wanted actual pops instead of a bowl of cheesecake flavored chocolate.

Anyhow... As usual, it was another splendid challenge. I heart the daring bakrs! : )

Ill post more lata once i get the pictures resized for the blog! : )
