Cheesecake on a stick
Now how perfect does that sound? This challenge is hosted by Elle of Feeding my Enthusiasms and Deborah of Taste and Tell . The recipe was pretty straight-forward, I did have some difficulty getting the chocolate to cover the entire pop especially close to the stick. The hardest part was deciding what to use as topping. I decided on Virginia lightly-salted peanuts. I always loved something salty with cheesecake and have been known to eat potato chips with it. This was a big hit when I brought it into the office. How can one resist a cheesecake on a stick and chocolate-covered too!
Please go check the fabulous creations of my fellow daring bakers here.
Too cute! Each on their own dish - I can't resist!

Very cute! I took mine to work too and who can resist a bite size piece of cheesecake! Great job!

They look wonderful! I used peanuts on some of mine as well, and really liked the salty with the sweet.

Veron I'm adding peanuts and peanut butter brickle to my list of ideas for this cheesecake. Wonderful little dishes for these!!

That photo is adorable! I love them rolled in nuts, a little salty crunch to go with the creamy sweet!

Oh, yum! I did think of covering mine with peanuts. These look great and I love the sweet ribbon on them! Just adorable!

I bet the flavor of salty peanut + sweet cheesecake pair well together. How come I never thought of that before! Beautiful pops!

All of your pops are so cute and yummy looking! I just joined Daring bakers so I will be baking something up next month! yeay!

Maybe it's because we're sisters and share the same brain.. but I think good salty potato chips would be wonderful with cheesecake! Wow.. I'm thinking a potato chip crust would be fabulous! Good thinking, my love :)
Your pops are just too cute for words and I love that photograph!!
xoxoxo

How scrumptious and adorable, Veron! You always finish everything off with the perfect bow! (And, chips with cheesecake? I'll have to try that! :-))

Pretty in pink ribbons!
(Btw, I do preschool, so my version of Pop goes the cheesecake was inspired by Pop goes the weasel.) :-)

I would call your salty sweet pops perfect!
Posted by:Mary | April 27, 2008 at 01:54 PM

Now I wish I had rolled mine in crushed potato chips since you suggested it. But salted peanuts sound good too.
Posted by:peabody | April 27, 2008 at 04:11 PM
Those cheesecake pops look delcicious. I love the beautiful ribbons tied around them. I like that you used salted peanuts, I love salty and sweet together too.
Posted by:Kristen | April 27, 2008 at 04:21 PM
What precious looking pops! Very pretty indeed & am sure the salty peanuts would have complimented the cheesecake totally! That's an interesting topping to use....LOVE IT! The little platters are very cute too. Beautiful post!!

I love how you decorated them, the picture are fantastic!
Posted by:Patsyk | April 27, 2008 at 05:31 PM
Lovely photo and cute pops..with bows! The chocolate was a bit of a challenge to cover the pop with, but yours look great. Salted peanuts are a great addition...sweet and salty and dairy and chocolate...yum!
Posted by:Elle | April 27, 2008 at 05:40 PM
Your cheesecake pops are adorable with their little ribbon bows! I love your choice of coating. . .Yummy! =D

Love the presentation. I wanted to put ribbons on mine too, but I lack the patience and dexterity, I think.
Posted by:Y | April 28, 2008 at 04:29 AM

Yours look so great!! Your pictures are great too. What kind of camera do you use? I am in the market for a digital camera and am trying to do as much research before I make the investment.
Posted by:Jacquie | April 28, 2008 at 09:45 AM
Just beautiful! I love the ribbons.
Posted by:zorra | April 28, 2008 at 09:50 AM
