ingredients
- 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 (12 ounce) packages vanilla chips (white chocolate, etc)
- 3 tablespoons shortening
- assorted candy sprinkles, nuts, grated chocolate, coconut, etc
- 45 lollipop sticks
directions
- Line A 9 inch springform or metal pan with parchment paper and coat the paper and sides of the pan with spray.
- Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in sour crean and vanilla until blended.
- Add eggs and beat on low speed just until combined. Pour into prepared pan.
- Place pan on baking sheet and bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minute then carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen. Cool for 1 more hour, cover and freeze overnight.
- Remove from freezer and let stand for 30 minute then place cracker crumbs in a shallow bowl. Working quickly, scoop out 1-in. balls of cheesecake, roll each ball in the crumbs and insert a stick, place on waxed paper in the freezer for 1 hour.
- In a microwave, melt vanilla chips and shortening at 70% power, stir until smooth( I do this first 30 seconds, stir, then if not done 10 seconds and stir again until melted, you don't want to over-melt!), place toppings in bowls. Dip balls in melted chips then roll in topping of choice. Let cool and store in the refridgerater.
- Enjoy!

I am from north Dakota, the cold state :) I Love food a little too much but I am one of the picky ones, there is a lot of food I Don't like, but I Love cooking just about anything. Right now I am going to School for culinary arts, and loving all the things I'm learning, despite the challenges of going back to school at the age of 33. Though I spend a lot of time working with food I have so very little time to make my own! But I love it anyway :) I Have a little brat of a mini Doxie who is my one ad only baby, but I have lots of other cuties in My life that are very special to me, like my godson in the picture with me above :)
