Mini Lemon Cheesecake Pops

#### 2. **Mix the Lemon Cheesecake Filling**
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined and fluffy. Then slowly fold in the heavy cream and continue mixing until the mixture is light and thickened.

#### 3. **Assemble the Pops**
Spoon or pipe the lemon cheesecake mixture over the chilled graham cracker crusts, filling each mini mold. Insert a small lollipop stick or skewer into the center of each cheesecake pop. Place the tray in the freezer and let them chill for at least **2–3 hours**, or until firm.

#### 4. **Add Toppings (Optional)**
Once firm, remove from the freezer. You can dip or drizzle them in melted chocolate, sprinkle with extra graham cracker crumbs, or top with curls of lemon zest for a pretty finish. Let them set again briefly if you dipped them in chocolate.

#### 5. **Serve & Enjoy**
Serve your Mini Lemon Cheesecake Pops chilled. They’re cool, creamy, and bursting with lemony flavor — perfect for hot days or special celebrations!
