Instructions
This is an overview of the recipe. The full instructions are below in the recipe card.
- Place cheesecake on a cutting board and cut into 6 even slices.
- Insert a popsicle stick into each slice from the wide end through the middle of the cheesecake, as far into the cheesecake as you can while ensuring it doesn't poke through the other side.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips for 20 seconds. Stir and reheat as needed. Add coconut oil or shortening if the chocolate is not as smooth as you'd like after melting.
- Holding one cheesecake stick over the bowl of melted chocolate, use a spoon to smooth 2 Tablespoons of white chocolate all over the cheesecake.
- We chose to leave the wide end bare, but you can cover up that side, too.
- Place the cheesecake on a plate, cookie sheet, or even back on the cutting board and garnish with sprinkles. Repeat with all cheesecake slices
- Place the cheesecakes in the refrigerator for an hour to allow the candy melts and decorations before serving.

The cheesecake sticks can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
