Method

Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture

In a food processor, blend blackberries until smooth. Strain if you prefer a seedless purée.
In a bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy. Add graham cracker crumbs, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt. Mix until combined.
Stir in the blackberry purée until fully incorporated — your mixture should be thick, creamy, and tinted a deep purple hue.

Shape the Pops

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into smooth balls.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and insert lollipop sticks into the center of each ball.
Freeze for 1 hour, or until firm.

Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt dark chocolate with coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

Dip & Decorate

Dip each frozen cheesecake pop into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
Place back on parchment. If desired, dust lightly with edible shimmer or crushed blackberries for a “forbidden forest” look.

Chill & Serve

Refrigerate 15–20 minutes until chocolate is set. Serve cold and enjoy your mystical masterpiece!
