Ice Block Iced Vovo Cheesecake Pops

INGREDIENTS

• 2 x 250g pkts Arnott’s Iced VoVo Biscuits
• 200g butter, melted, cooled
• 2 x 250g pkts cream cheese, at room temperature
• 80g (1/2 cup) icing sugar mixture
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 600ml ctn thickened cream
• Pink food colouring, to tint
• 4 tablespoons raspberry jam
• Desiccated coconut, to sprinkle

How to make Ice Block Iced Vovo Cheesecake Pops

1. Process the biscuits in a food processor until coarsely crushed. Add the butter and process until well combined. Set aside.
2. Use electric beaters to beat the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. Gradually add the cream and beat for 1-2 minutes or until well combined and thickened slightly.
3. Spoon a third of the mixture into a separate bowl and set aside. Beat a little food colouring into the remaining mixture until bright pink. Transfer half the pink mixture to a separate bowl.
4. Fold 2 tbs jam into one portion of pink mixture to create a rippled effect. Divide the pink mixture evenly among eight 300ml paper cups.
5. Sprinkle 2 tsp of the biscuit mixture into each cup, pushing it up against the side of the cup slightly. Divide the reserved white mixture evenly among the cups. Repeat with another layer of biscuit mixture, using 2 tsp for each cup.
6. Fold the remaining 2 tbs jam into the remaining pink mixture to create a rippled effect. Divide evenly among the cups. Top with the remaining biscuit mixture, pressing down slightly with the back of a spoon so the pops are well covered.
7. Insert a paddle-pop stick into the centre of each cup. Place pops in the freezer, stick side up, for 4-6 hours or until frozen.
8. Carefully cut away cup from each pop and remove. Sprinkle pops with coconut.
