These Pumpkin Cheesecake Popsicles have a deliciously creamy and smooth texture. They’re adult and kid approved and the perfect little ice cream treat for your Thanksgiving dessert table!
Oh yes I did folks! I whipped us up a delicious pumpkiny ice cream treat for our Thanksgiving celebration!
I know, I know…it’s not really ice cream season. But for some people, ice cream season never ends! I happen to be one of those people. I’m hoping you are too!
I’ve been dying to share these popsicles for like evah!! Ever since I shared my 4th of July Berry Cheesecake Popsicles, I knew I’d have to share another creamy cheesecake popsicle. They were just too good! And since pumpkin cheesecake happens to be one of my favorite fall desserts, I decided why not change things up a bit for the holiday this year and turn this classic fall cheesecake into a novel adult AND kid friendly dessert?
It’s basically a piece of frozen pumpkin cheesecake on a stick. It doesn’t get any better in my book! They’re a total cinch to make too. You can use a popsicle mold if you have one, or you can just use some 8-9 oz. plastic or paper cups like I did. A mixture of cream cheese, pure pumpkin (I use Libby’s), some half and half and heavy cream, along with some pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon give these pops a creamy texture with a pop of pumpkin that’s to die for. And they’re topped off with a sweet little graham cracker crust. Sounds pretty good huh?!
I hope you enjoy these friends! Just don’t tell the kiddos ahead of time or they’ll skip straight to dessert! Please join me back at the BHK next week for a special celebration! It’s the BHK’s 2 year anniversary! Woot woot! Time sure does fly!! Have a wonderful weekend!
- Graham cracker crust:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp. butter melted
- 2 8 oz. packages cream cheese
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup pure pumpkin
- 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup half and half
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
-
In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter with a fork until well combined. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium high speed, beat cream cheese until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Turn mixer to low speed and slowly add granulated sugar. Beat until smooth.
-
Add pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, vanilla, half and half and heavy cream and beat until well blended.
-
Divide the mixture evenly between eight 8 or 9 oz. cups filling 3/4 full. Top with 2 tablespoons of graham cracker crumbs pressing gently to even out.
-
Cover and place cups in freezer for one hour. Remove from freezer and insert sticks into middle of each cup. Return to the freezer for an additional 5 hours or until totally frozen.
-
To remove popsicles from cups just peel away paper if you've used paper cups. If you used plastic cups or a popsicle mold, run outside under warm water to slightly melt the pops to release the cup/mold.
These are the cutest things ever and I know the kids and adults at my Thanksgiving table would love them. Cheesecake is hubby’s favorite and I never make it for him. How is that possible? Love these girl! Have a great weekend Mary Ann.
Oh they’re sooo delicious Karen! I had so much fun shooting them and eating them right after! You have a wonderful weekend too! XO
Holy pumpkin cheesecake popsicle! Those look simply amazing Mary Ann. I would definitely like one of those right now with this ridiculous heat we’re experiencing.
I knew you’d like these Alida! I figured in some areas temps are rising this time of year, so a sweet ice cream treat would be the perfect thing! Hope you enjoy them if you try! Happy weekend!
Mary Ann, who needs a main dish if we can have your Jalapeño Bacon Cheese Balls and these delicious looking popsicles . I know I don’t!
I like the way you think Gerlinde! You’re my kind of girl! Happy weekend my friend! XO
I was ready to put my Popsicle mold away, when this recipe popped up in my email. Who does t love pumpkin and cheesecake! They look so yummy! My son and his family are all coming for Thanksgiving. This would be a delightful treat for the girls, and the adults for that matter! I’m definitely gonna make these!
Yay! You’ll love them Nancie! I had a tough time just eating one! Have a fabulous weekend!

Firstly, happy 2yr anniversary in advance. Can’t wait to see what you have in store next week! These look great, I love pumpkin cheesecake. Sadly I’m alone in that in my household, so popsicles feel like the type of thing I might be able to make in bulk and eat them as I like! Good idea.
Thanks so much Matt! I’ll give you a hint…it’s perfect for a fall Thirsty Thursday! Cheers to a fabulous weekend!
I love this idea, Mary Ann and yes to ice cream all year!! :) Such a fun change to traditional pie! Have a great weekend!
