Creamy ..Dreamy …Yummy…just fabulous! That about describes this ice cream made with cream cheese, fresh strawberries and oreo cookie crumbs! You can’t go wrong with these ingredients can you? You may recall that last summer I had made an ice cream with cream cheese and blueberries which had won the hearts of all my family – both immediate and extended family members included! Not to mention all our friends who were also lucky to get this treat. As a consequence I made the Blueberry cream cheese ice cream several times last summer. 🙂 It was really a huge hit everywhere and was also a ‘feature’ at Fiesta Friday!
This year again the kids had been asking for that when I saw a picture of strawberry and chocolate ice cream popsicles in Better Homes and Garden’s latest issue. I was ‘bowled over’ ! Fell in love with it instantly! Had to totally make it.! That recipe just used store bought ice cream to make the layers. However, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I had to give it my famous cream cheese twist! 🙂
My kids helped out with the mixing and between the three of us we probably ate a good cup of the delicious mixture!
We couldn’t wait to finish our dinner that evening so we could have our dessert! And lo and behold, it turned out even better than I thought. The ice cream was so creamy and the slight sourness of the cream cheese mixed with the strawberry made the strawberry layer just so wonderful. And the chocolate of course was delicious especially with the oreo crumb layer on the bottom. Yum Yum good! Believe me folks, you have just got to try this one – you will be happy…and dreamy…and ready to take on the world! 🙂
Only one negative about this ice cream dessert is that it takes a while to thaw because of the texture of cream cheese. So you need to keep it at room temperature for about 10 minutes!
I am bringing this creamy delicious dessert to Fiesta Friday this week where two very sportive bloggers, Loretta from Safari of the Mind and Jess at Cooking is my Sport are co-hosts!
1. Place cookie crumbs and butter mixture in base of pan and press.
2. Mix cream cheese, sugar and heavy cream mixture until creamy
3. To half the above mixture, add chocolate syrup and mix well.
4. Pour chocolaté mixture over cookie crumbs.
5. Mix strawberry puree with the rest of the cream cheese mixture.
6. Pour strawberry mixture over chocolate layer.
7. Insert ice cream sticks and freeze.
8. Remove from pan and cut into squares
This is such a simple and lovely way to make “Neapolitan” pops! I’ve tried your cream cheese ice cream recipe and I’m sure this one is a winner too.
thanks Apsara. yes I remember you trying the other recipe before! The strawberry and chocolate version is great too!
Reblogged this on Chef Ceaser.
So delicious!!!
thanks Lina! yes indeed it’s very delicious!
You’ve definitely won my heart with these ice pops! Three delicious layers (especially that strawberry one!) and of course, all the cream cheese and cream 🙂 !
yes aren’t they lovely! And incredibly delicious too! The cream cheese gives it a slight sour/salty taste that makes these really irresistible in my opinion! 🙂
Welcome to Fiesta Friday Indus and thanks so much for bringing this yummy strawberry/chocolate/cream cheese pops to the Fiesta. I don’t think they will last very long at the party. It has been pretty warm and humid almost all over, so these will be a welcome refreshment. I love all the colors and I think the cream cheese definitely added a surprise element to the taste. Happy weekend.
thanks Loretta! Yes these are going fast in my house too! I made a double batch this time and we are ending up eating it as snack anytime of the day!Yes the cream cheese gives it a saltiness that makes these irresistible! thanks for co-hosting FF and for stopping by! 🙂
Very Neapolitan lol- I love these, thanks for sharing 🙂
Oh my… what a delicious treat! Looking forward to our warmer months, to give this a try!
thanks Jess! yes like Neapolitan! But with a cream cheese twist! Do give this a try it tastes so yummy!
So totally nonfat-tening! Looks so good.
thank you. Yes I use only full fat milk and cream always. No low fat for me. Yeah this is really very yummy! 🙂
Well you are lucky to be able to eat what you like.
Hi I believe in moderation and in using natural ingredients. I try to stay away from processed foods like low fat etc because they can harm your body more than full fat. 🙂
Wise choice.
