No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake Pops
- Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, chilled
- 1 cup creamy honey-roasted peanut butter
- 1 cup crushed honey-roasted peanuts
- One 12-ounce bag miniature semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unrefined coconut oil
- Special equipment: thirty 6-inch lollipop sticks; a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop
- Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Add the cream cheese and peanut butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and whip until smooth.
- Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, drop balls of the cheesecake mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Press a 6-inch lollipop stick into each ball.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze until solid, 1 to 2 hours.
- Place the peanuts in a small bowl.
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pot of simmering water, stirring constantly to evenly melt.
- Remove 4 cheesecake balls from the freezer.
- Working quickly, dip each fully in the chocolate to seal the cheesecake to the stick, then roll in the peanuts before the chocolate sets.
- Place on another parchment lined baking sheet or a large platter and refrigerate until ready to serve.
