Vegan Strawberry Cheesecake or Yogurt popsicles
If you love my vegan New York Cheesecake or the best Strawberry Cheesecake, you can also turn this recipe into Strawberry Cheesecake popsicles. To do this, simply purée just 8.8 oz (250 g) of strawberries and then layer it with 8.8 oz (250 g) of cashew cream (see vegan Magnum recipe) or vegan coconut or vanilla yogurt in the ice cream molds.
