When the weather is hot and blueberries are fresh it’s the perfect time for blueberry cheesecake pops! Not too sweet but what a treat.

We go crazy for blueberry season here. Blueberries are an all around family favorite fruit. We mostly freeze them and eat them fresh.

But of course we use them for a few treats too.

Gluten-Free Blueberry Dessert

One of the easiest ways to use blueberries is in blueberry cheesecake pops. It only takes about five minutes to get them to the freezer. As a busy mom of four, the faster the better!

We almost always have homemade gluten free graham crackers in the cupboard, which makes treats like blueberry cheesecake pops a cinch. This time I used gluten free pumpkin spice grahams! Any homemade or store bought version that you tolerate will do.

Then all you have to do is blend, crush and pour.

Blueberry Cheesecake Pops

Slightly sweetened whole milk yogurt blended with blueberries gives the flavor of blueberry cheesecake. The crushed graham crackers mimic a graham cracker crust.

If you want some variety try swapping the blueberries for strawberries or raspberries. Or use all three for a mixed berry cheesecake pop!

Coconut milk or coconut yogurt can be used in place of the dairy yogurt as well for variety or for allergies.

Healthy Blueberry Dessert

Blueberry cheesecake pops really are a treat. But you can also pack them with nutrients. They already have maple syrup and sea salt. Both contain lots of minerals.

Then there is the whole milk yogurt with healthy fat. Plus blueberries are bursting with vitamins.

If you really want to load up these popsicles with good stuff you can add egg yolk to the mix. I like to do this for my kids that sometimes struggle with focus. All of the B vitamins really help.

What to Make with Blueberries

If your kids are like mine they don’t want to wait for the popsicles to freeze. Blueberry cheesecake pops can be eaten as blueberry cheesecake yogurt if you are really in a hurry. Just blend, pour, stir and serve. Then you can serve this for breakfast!

Use a few of your fresh blueberries to make a treat the whole family will love. Blueberry cheesecake pops are dessert with nutrition packed inside.
