Assembling the lollipops is fun! Cover you lollipops in chocolate dip, coconut, chopped almonds, chopped pistachios, crumbled graham crackers, sprinkles, dots, confetti or anything else that strikes your fancy.
Ingredients:
1 batch cheesecake
1/2 pound chocolate
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Lollipop sticks (if you can't find lollipop sticks, you can use straws or thick skewers)

1. Cover the cheesecake in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for several hours to overnight.
2. Scoop 2 ounces of the cheesecake, form it into a ball and place it on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
3. Insert a lollipop stick into the cheesecake ball.
4. Freeze the cheesecake pops until very cold, about 2-3 hours to overnight.
5. Melt the chocolate into the butter and heavy cream over a double boiler and turn off the heat.
6. Dip the frozen cheesecake lollipops into the chocolate ganache and then into any decorations that you want and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
