One of our favorite foods is cheesecake so we thought, why not make Keto Popsicles using cheesecake filling for a fun twist! We also amp these low carb popsicles up with blueberries, lemon juice and lemon zest; a perfectly sweet and tart combination to complement the creaminess of the cheesecake. It’s one of the easiest recipes you’re going to ever make because all the real work is done by the freezer, transforming a delicious cheesecake filling into perfect, for all times of year, popsicles!
What Are The Most Keto Friendly Fruit?
Well, to start, you’ve got blueberries, which is why we used them in this popsicle recipe! And, if you really want to simplify the answer, all berries whether it be strawberries or blackberries are fine to eat on a keto or low carb diet. They can add up though, due to the sugars, so it is important to weigh them out and track them when you choose to indulge! We’ve found that blackberries have the least sugar per 100 grams so that could be your best option when choosing to eat fruit. Go ahead and change up the fruit in these pops and let us know what you think!
The Most Indulgent, low carb Freeze Pops!
We’ve made popsicles before, but nothing ever as indulgent as these. You almost feel zero guilt since they are low carb and in freeze pop form! Eating these brings me back to my childhood when I would eat the freeze pops that you would buy in bulk and came in six different flavors. It was a simpler time, and although sometimes simple is best, after growing up you figure out that the most indulgent foods are the best! And, if you want to indulge in these you can use the same popsicle molds we used in the video to make yours! If you buy multiple they stack great, taking up the least room possible in your freezer!
Cheesecake Keto Popsicles
If you’re also a fan of cheesecake, but prefer it unfrozen, in pie form give our easy, no bake cheesecakes a try or our pumpkin pie cheesecake, which is always a hit during the fall time and holidays! You can even use this cheesecake filling to make a normal cheesecake by adding a crust and letting it set in the fridge! We’ve given you the perfect base with these keto popsicles so add in your favorite fruit and flavors and remember what it’s like to be a child again!

What exactly is “one lemon juice”???
How Much Juice in One Lemon? On average, there are 3 tablespoons of juice in one lemon. So, for a cup of fresh lemon juice, you would need 5 and a quarter lemons.
Will these come out super hard out of the freezer? or can they be made and just eaten? 🙂
Question on lemon zest and lemon juice! New to all the keto recipes and desserts! Is that the zest of the whole lemon and the juice that comes out of the lemon? Do you have any exact measurements on these ingredients? Wouldn’t the popsicles taste different, if making them with different size lemons, each time you made them? Larger lemons more zest and smaller less zest and juice! I want to make these and I really want them to be delicious! Any help would be appreciated!
There may be a slight difference depending on the size, but you can just adjust for your taste! That gives you an excuse to sneak or bite or two while you mix 😉
Hi! Recipe looks awesome. Do you have any suggestions for thinning out the mixture so it can be added to yogurt tubes for freezing? My son is extremely picky and we are putting him on keto so I’m desperately trying to find an alternative to “Gogurts” as they are one of the few things he will eat. I appreciate any input or ideas you might have. Thank you so much! – Jessica
Hey Jessica – you could try adding a little water or even some unsweetened nut milk to thin out the consistency.

Can’t wait to try these, love the macros! Hoping they’re in your new book…love the old one. I fail in keeping my saved recipes organized ??♀️. Know how to find
Keto.connect though❤️
I’ve been having fun tweaking this recipe for my daughter. This last time I omitted the lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, and blueberries and substituted 2 tsp banana flavoring and 1/4 c. Lily’s chocolate chips. My daughter says that’s her favorite so far.
Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake is my absolute favorite dessert, so of course I made this recipe as soon as I found it! My lemon was bad, so I used real lemon juice, and I’m allergic to stevia, so I just added a little more Swerve to taste. I also added a couple of pinches of xanthan gum & made them into mini cheesecakes. ?? AMAZING! Thank you guys for this recipe!
Just made these today with raspberries and we smushed them all before mixing them in. They were beautiful and pink and tasted PHENOMENAL. Can’t wait to eat another tomorrow!
Hey guys! The mold link takes me to the popcicle sticks. Can you update the correct link or tell me where I can find it please! Thanks for everything you do!
So sorry about that! Just updated 🙂 Thanks for the heads up.
You guys left of the cream cheese from the directions.
These are amazing anytime of year….I used lime instead of lemon and made them a third the size for just a quick pick me up.
Thank you so much for all your great recipes.
Do U think that they would be sweet enough without the Stevis drops.
I am in Mexico for a few months. Brought granulated Swerve w me but no Stevia drops available where i am living
BYW.. your recipes are excellent!
What are the measurements for the lemon zest and the lemon juice? The recipe just says “1 lemon zest” and “1 lemon juice”. Thanks.
Hi I am so excited to try this receipe. My mom anD I 2 weeks into the keto lifestyle and are so lucky to have come across your channell. any recomdendations on a non bitter afterstaste stevia? I have learned not all stevias are alike and can be very expensive for trial an error.
Could you make them in mini muffin silicon muffin molds instead of Popsicles ?
I just did… totally eating them like that…
Seriously needed some sweet and decided to try these. AMAZING!
I came for the blueberry lemon cheesecake pops and have been geeking out on all of your awesome recipes for way too long tonight. You guys are so funny and sweet and you make stuff that I actually want to eat. Ketoconnect is bible ♥️
Girl THANK you!!
Hi! I’m in love with all your videos!
Can something else be used here besides erythritol?
Thanks!
Sure! Stevia to taste 🙂
WOW! Ice cream season is kinda over, but still can’t wait to try them! (ok, that was obviously a joke about the season, I usually eat ice cream at Christmas as well) 😀
Not if you’re in the Philippines! Looks sooo good…I will try it with strawberries ? Thanks guys!
