Ingredients

for 6 servings

8 oz
cream cheese, 1 block (225 g)
1 cup
powdered sugar (160 g)
1 cup
heavy cream, cold (240 mL)
1 ½ cups
strawberry, diced (225 g)
3 cups
vanilla wafer (240 g)
3 eggs, beaten
oil, for frying

Special Equipment

6 sticks popsicle stick
popsicle mold

Preparation

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth.
Pour in the heavy cream and beat until the mixture has reached soft peaks.
Add in the strawberries and beat until well-incorporated.
Pour the mixture into 6 popsicle molds and insert popsicle sticks.
Freeze at least 8 hours.
Place vanilla wafers in a gallon-size freezer bag and smash with a rolling pin until the the cookies have broken down into crumbs.
Coat the popsicles with egg wash, then with vanilla wafer crumbs and repeat for a second coating.
Freeze for another 30 minutes.
While holding the end of the popsicle stick, dip the popsicle into the oil, heated to 375°F (190°C), and hold for 10 seconds. Be sure to wear heat-resistant gloves when frying the popsicles! Or use a reliable pair of tongs to hold the stick while frying.
Immediately after pulling the popsicle from the oil, pat both sides with a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Freeze immediately until ready to serve.
Enjoy!

I absolutely loved them!! 😃 Personally, I would add less cream cheese and more strawberries because it can get overpowering. Make sure they are super frozen, bread, freeze for at least 2 hrs and then fry. Do not leave them in the fryer for very long. You will end up otherwise with a sticky mess that’s not fun to clean up. Still super fun and tasty 😋!!

This was horrible. All I could taste is the cream cheese, not even a bit of the strawberry. After frying, the whole thing had this oily, greasy taste and texture that just ruined it. ☹️
