Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Popsicles
Summertime fun always means some frozen treat will be on hand. These Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Popsicles are the perfect item to keep stocked in your low carb freezer stash.
Of course I love these popsicles for their refreshing and fruity flavor. The number one reason I LOVE this popsicle is it’s take forever to eat. Only 1g net carb and it takes almost 10 minutes to eat.
As I slowly lick away at this frozen treat I get to enjoy it over a long time. Most keto desserts I get one bite and the sweet euphoria is over….wa wa wa.
Summer Treat
It’s always summer fun to be handed a perfectly shaped Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Popsicle. I get a skip in my step when I make my own at home. I pull them right out of the freezer something that looks like store bought.
Professional looking fudgesicle or popsicle molds don’t take up a ton of space in your freezer. They also wash right in your dishwasher. Once your pops are frozen solid you can store your Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Popsicles in a ziploc.
The molds vs dixie cup
I have a silicone mold and a metal/plastic fudgesicle or popsicle mold.
Both versions work well. I prefer the silicone mold (to the plastic mold) as I can peel back the sides of the popsicle.
Either version is inexpensive and easily found at Target or on Amazon at this link. They range from ($12-30). You can use them over and over and over again for your Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Popsicles or any flavor imaginable.
For a small investment in the molds ($12-18) you can use them again and again. More flavors in the future to be made and stored in your freezer.
I vote for dixie cups
However…you don’t need fancy molds for your Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Popsicles! Any small paper dixie cup will work just fine. Sometimes I even prefer the small paper cups to the molds. They are easier to store and there’s no clean up.
The molds typically come with a cover to hold the stick in place. If you are using paper cups simply wait until your mixture is slightly frozen. Place a wooden stick in the center of the slushy cup.
You can wait a little longer for your slush to get a little thicker before you insert the stick.
Out of the mold
To unmold your Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Popsicles simply set the mold out on the counter for 5-7 minutes. If you can not wait then dip the mold in warm water for 30 seconds to a minute. Then slide a fudgesicle or popsicles out.
The silicone molds are slightly easier as you gently peel back the sides. Give them a tug every couple seconds to see if they’re loose yet. We don’t want to soften them any more than absolutely necessary.
If the stick comes out before the popsicle is fully frozen then they just weren’t frozen enough…and that really sucks! You’ll want to freeze your Keto popsicles at least overnight, but preferably a full 24 hours.
Be patient. There is nothing more sad than having part of your Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Popsicle at the bottom of the mold.
Easy tear & eat
The cool thing about using the little paper dixie cups is that there is no unmolding to be done. Simply remove your cup from the freezer and tear away the paper cup to enjoy. I use a small knife to make a small cut in the top of the dixie cup. Then tear away from the Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Popsicle. Easy peasy!
Storage
After I unmold all of the Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Popsicles and I place them on the tray.
I refreeze them for 10 minutes out of their molds before putting them in a freezer bag. You can also separate them in their freezer bags by placing extra strips of parchment paper in between each pop.
Plastic freezer bags (gallon sized ziploc bags) ensure that your popsicles don’t pick up the flavor of any freezer smells. No one likes the taste of a Keto Fudgesicle with a hint of enchilada casserole, right?
This extra step ensures that any melting/softening that happens when you unmold them. We don’t want to mess up their shapes or cause them to stick to one another. The parchment paper in between each pop as you place in the freezer bag keeps the fudgesicles and popsicles separated.

Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Popsicles
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a saucepan over a medium heat add cream, low carb sweetener, softened cream cheese and slightly mashed raspberries. Whisk all together to combine.
- Bring to a simmer for 1-2 minutes or until mixture starts to slightly thicken.
- While whisking the raspberry mixture sprinkle in xanthan gum and thoroughly whisk to incorporate into the raspberry mixture.
- *Optional……Use a hand immersion blender or transfer to a blender to blend all together and puree the mixture. BE CAREFUL as the liquid is very hot.
- Set aside the raspberry mixture to cool on counter for a few mins. You will want to have the raspberry cheesecake mixture in a container (like a large measuring cup) to easily pour into your popsicle molds or dixie cups.
- Pour raspberry cheesecake mixture into each mold (traditional popsicle mold or dixie cups).
- Cover and place wooden popsicle stick in each pop. (Cover with foil before you place the wooden sticks if your mold doesn’t come with a cover…then stick the sticks through the foil to hold them in place).
- Freeze Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Popsicles for at least 24 hours or more.
- Depending on your molds either run mold under warm water to loosen your Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Popsicle. If you use paper cups just pull straight from the freezer and tear paper away from your pop.
