“Is there any better way to celebrate the birth of our great nation than with this red, white, and sort-of-blue Popsicle(R)? Before you answer, I should mention they’re actually strawberry and blueberry cheesecake ice pops that are spiked with booze.”
Ingredients
Simple Syrup:
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
Strawberry Layer:
1 1/3 cups quartered fresh strawberries
1 1/2 tablespoons vodka
Cheesecake Layer:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon vodka
Blueberry Layer:
1 1/3 cups fresh blueberries
1 1/2 tablespoons vodka
Directions
Whisk sugar and water together in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar is dissolved and syrup is clear, 2 to 3 minutes. Cool syrup to room temperature.
Blend strawberries, 1 1/2 tablespoons syrup, and 1 1/2 tablespoons vodka together in a blender or food processor until smooth. Pour strawberry mixture into the bottoms of 6 ice pop molds; freeze until firm, at least 1 hour.
Whisk cream cheese and 1 1/2 tablespoons syrup together in a bowl until smooth; whisk in 1 tablespoon vodka. Pour cheese mixture into ice pop molds on top of the firm strawberry layer; freeze until cream cheese layer is firm, at least 1 hour.
