(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Desserts

Ingredients

  • 6 graham crackers (for chocolate, sub in 16 chocolate wafer cookies)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 oz. cream cheese, at room temp.
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp. finely grated lime zest
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 cup very cold heavy cream
  • 12 3-oz. paper cups (Dixie)
  • 12 wooden craft sticks

Directions

  1. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the graham crackers to form fine crumbs. Add the butter and pulse to combine.

  2. In the large bowl of an electric mixer, using the whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese on low speed until smooth. With the mixer running, gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, then the lime zest and juice.

  3. Add the cream, then increase the speed until mixture is thick and soft peaks form, 3-4 minutes. Divide among the cups. Top with the graham mixture and lightly press down to flatten.

  4. Transfer the cups to a small rimmed baking sheet and push a craft stick halfway down into each cup. Freeze until firm, at least 6 hours.

  5. When ready to serve, peel the cups away from the pops.
