    Blueberry Chèvre Cheesecake Popsicles

    Published Aug 4, 2018

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    When you need cheesecake but it's too hot to bake, these creamy chèvre cheesecake popsicles marbled with fresh blueberry compote and topped with crumbled gluten-free graham crackers satisfy on the warmest of days. Thanks to Vermont Creamery for sponsoring this post!

    delicious and creamy Blueberry Chèvre Cheesecake Popsicles

    When I was nineteen, I spent a few delicious days in the Loire Valley touring castles, fawning over the scenery, and falling in love...

    ingredients on table

    ...with cheese.

    After each meal, a cart laden with local delicacies would be wheeled to the table. The regional specialty was aged goat cheese the likes of which I'd never before tasted. They came in different shapes and sizes, each geometric beauty boasting a center of crumbly chèvre, an aged outer rind sometimes rolled in ash to give it a blue-gray hue, and in the middle of the two, a gooey layer similar to baked brie. I was smitten.

    blueberries and lemons

    Back in the US I looked in vain for something similar, eventually giving up and making do with cheddars, bries, and goudas (did I mention I really like cheese?) It wasn't until a friend brought a Vermont Creamery Bonne Bouche home from the fancy food show a few years ago that I discovered my cheese soul mate.

    pot of blueberries

    It should have been no surprise that the co-founder of Vermont Creamery, Allison Hooper, also had a torrid love affair with the cheeses of France. She modeled hers after those traditional gems when she founded the creamery in the mid-80's. Since then, Vermont Creamery has accrued over 100 awards for their dairy, and when you taste it, you'll know why. Their butter is cultured, European-style, full of rich flavor and boasting a golden hue. Their crème fraiche is thick enough to stand a spoon up in; the vanilla bean version is worthy of eating straight from the carton. And their aged cheeses – Cremant, Coupole, Bijou, and St. Albans – rival my taste memory of that summer in France. No small feat.

    Blueberry Chèvre Cheesecake mix

    In addition to aged cheeses, Vermont Creamery sells award-winning fresh goat cheese that boasts a clean, bright flavor and creamy-crumbly texture. I've used their classic chèvre in mac and cheese, pizza, pasta, and salads, and I also love it in sweet applications. Vermont Creamery recently released versions flavored with smoky pepper jelly, clover blossom honey, and blueberry lemon & thyme, the latter of which inspired these popsicles.

    Adding chèvre to cheesecake plays up the savory-sweet notes inherent in the dessert, and this frozen version keeps your kitchen and yourself cool on a hot day. Blueberries simmered with a bit of sugar and lemon and pureed into a simple compote offset a creamy base of chèvre, cream cheese, and milk flavored with lemon and vanilla. Swirl those together and top the pops with crumbled gluten-free graham crackers. The grahams soften in the freezer but maintain their toasty sweet flavor, making the pop taste like the most sophisticated cheesecake, frozen.

    Last fall I had the pleasure of attending Cheese Camp – three blissful days spent with some of my favorite foodie friends (Sarah M, Sarah F, Michelle, Lily, Amanda, Judy, and Carey) exploring Vermont, enjoying local sips and bites, and (naturally!) gorging ourselves on cheese.

    In addition to making delicious dairy, Vermont Creamery has been a certified B Corp since 2014 and continually develops new ways of supporting their employees, community, and the environment as best they can. They source their cow and goat dairy from small, local farms where the goats and cows are given plenty of space, fresh air, and good stuff to eat. The freshness of the milk translates into cheeses that boast clean, bright flavor, and by buying local, Vermont Creamery strengthens their community and saves on fossil fuels. A sustainability committee monitors water and energy usage, developing new ways of conserving both. 50% of the management roles in the company are filled by women, and employees are paid to volunteer at local organizations during work hours if they wish.

And do yourself a favor – pick up some Vermont Creamery goodness at a store near you and make a batch of these blueberry chèvre cheesecake popsicles while fresh blueberries are in season. You won't be sorry.

    Blueberry Chèvre Cheesecake Popsicles

    Bright berries, a hint of lemon and vanilla, creamy fresh goat cheese, and a crumble of graham crackers make these popsicles little addicting treats on a warm day. Feel free to swap the blueberries for any fresh summer berry you like.
    Alanna Taylor-Tobin
    Prep Time: 15 minutes
    Cook Time: 10 minutes
    Total: 25 minutes
    Servings: 10 (3-ounce) popsicles

    Ingredients

    Blueberry Layer:

    • 1 ½ cups (215 g) fresh (or frozen, thawed) blueberries
    • zest of ½ medium lemon
    • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) lemon juice
    • 3 tablespoons (37g) organic granulated sugar (more if your berries are on the tart side)
    • 1/3 cup (78 ml) water

    Cheesecake Layer:

    • 3 ounces (6 tablespoons or 85 g) Vermont Creamery fresh goat cheese, softened
    • 3 ounces (6 tablespoons or 85 g) cream cheese, softened
    • 1 cup whole milk
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla paste or extract (or seeds from ½ vanilla bean)
    • zest of ½ medium lemon
    • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
    • 6 tablespoons (75 g) organic granulated sugar
    • 1/3 cup crumbled GF graham crackers (~35 g)

    Instructions

    • Combine the blueberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the juices are reduced by half and bubbling thickly, 5–10 more minutes. Let cool to room temperature, then puree smooth. You should have about 1 scant cup.
    • In the pitcher of a blender, combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, milk, vanilla, lemon zest and juice, and sugar and puree smooth.
    • Divide the blueberry puree among 10 (3-ounce) popsicle molds. Gently pour the cheesecake layer over the blueberry layer, leaving a scant half-inch of space at the top. Use a chopstick to swirl the layers together slightly. Crumble the graham crackers on top of the cheesecake layer and press the crumbles into the mixture so they stay put when frozen. Place popsicles sticks in the molds and freeze until solid, several hours or overnight. Remove from the molds and serve, or store airtight for up to a week or two.

      So gorgeous - would you call them ombre popsicles?? Have actually never made my own popsicles - must finally give it a go this summer. Love that you used goats cheese too! Love chèvre - probably my go to way is whisked into scrambled eggs for extra creaminess or on top of salads - favourite being a roast pear & beetroot.

        They are a bit ombre for sure! I think you'd love making and shooting popsicles - they'd be sooooo pretty! That chevre salad sounds amazing. <3

      Made these and they’re so good! Terrific combination of flavors. Next time I think I’ll make fewer but larger popsicles since these were a bit dainty ;-) I used leftover crumble from your cookbook’s blackberry crisp froyo recipe and it worked really well as a substitute for the gf graham cracker crumbs. Keep up the good work, Alanna!

    New recipe on TBG today: 🍋 GF lemon poppy seed New recipe on TBG today: 🍋 GF lemon poppy seed cake. It's moist, lofty, tender, and so easy to make.

This is a smol sheet cake (8x8) that you can whip up in under an hour with just one bowl and a whisk. Swipe to see how easy it is to make!

I especially love making this cake with Meyer lemons - so obsessed with their sunny, floral flavor! It pairs beautifully with nutty poppy seeds, which add a bit of crunch and old-world flavor.

Made with some whole grain flours, no gums, and with DF and refined sugar-free options too.

    Sunny GF #lemontart vibes for a dark Friday! 🌝🍋

This is our 🤷‍♀️ day of rain and clouds here in NorCal and I'm definitely craving brightness in all forms, including and especially citrus! 

You can make this golden-hued tart with regular lemons, but I especially love the floral taste of Meyers if you have access to them. 

The bright and tangy lemon curd gets baked in my tender, buttery almond flour tart crust, a reader favorite since I shared it in my cookbook back in 2016. 

Top it with whipped creme fraiche and bee pollen for a dessert that looks like it came from a fancy-pants bakery but is actually super easy to make yourself. 

Stay dry out there, friends!

    GF DF Lemon Almond Olive Oil Cake ✨ Gluten and GF DF Lemon Almond Olive Oil Cake ✨

Gluten and dairy-laden cakes *wish* they could be as moist and tender as this cake, which gets loads of flavor from fruity olive oil and a meltingly tender crumb from nubby almond flour. 

Nibble slices plain with a cup of tea, or dress up wedges with sugared strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream or coconut cream. 

The cake can be made up to a few days ahead; it just gets better and better as it sits. Feel free to try this cake with other citrus zest and juice, such as Meyer lemon, tangerine, or blood orange.
