Instructions
 

To make the cheesecake base

  • Line the cheesecake tin with parchment paper.
  • Break the Graham crackers into smaller pieces and blitz briefly in a food processor into crumbs.
  • Melt the butter by adding to a microwave proof bowl and microwaving for a minute or two, or in a pot on the stove.
  • Pour the butter into the cookie crumbs and mix until it resembles fine bread crumbs.
  • Pour into lined tin and press down to form the base.
  • Chill in fridge for at least one hour and up to overnight.

To make the cheesecake filling

  • NB Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature.
  • Beat the room temperature cream cheese briefly to soften it.
  • Add the sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla to the room temperature cream cheese and beat on low until well combined.
  • Whip the cream in a seperate bowl until firm peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mix until well combined.
  • Tip the cheesecake filling onto the prepared base and smooth down.
  • Chill in the fridge for at least four hours, preferably overnight.
  • Once set, remove from tin and slice.
  • Push popsicle sticks into each slice and freeze.

To make the coatings:

    Pistachio

    • Add the milk, cream, sugar and pistachio paste to a small pot on the stove.
    • Sift in the corn flour and whisk well.
    • Heat on medium-low stirring until the sugar is dissolved and well combined.
    • Heat for a further ten to fifteen minutes or until sauce thickens. Cool.

    Biscoff

    • Juice the lemon.
    • Heat the milk.
    • Add the Biscoff spread and whisk until smooth.
    • Add the lemon juice and whisk well.
    • Break up the Biscoff cookies and blitz into crumbs.

    Nutella

    • Heat the milk.
    • Add the instant coffee and whisk well to dissolve fully.
    • Add the Nutella and whisk until smooth and glossy.

    To assemble the cheesecake sticks:

    • Chop or blitz the pistachios, Biscoff cookies or hazelnuts separatley into large, coarse crumbs.
    • Add the sauces and crumbs to separate plates.
    • Dip a cheesecake stick into a sauce, rotating it to coat all sides. Use a spoon to put sauce on the end with the stick poking out.
    • Dip the sauce coated cheesecake stick into the matching crumb coating. Use a spoon to pile up and pat down the crumbs for an even coating.
    • Repeat with remaining cheesecake sticks, sauces and coatings.
    • Return coated cheesecake sticks to the freezer to firm up before serving.
    • Pop fully frozen coated cheesecake sticks onto a serving platter and enjoy!

    Notes

    Cake size:
    I used a 7" x 2.5" (18cm x 6.5cm) as I like my cheesecake nice and tall with a deep cookie base.  You can use a wider springform tin if that's what you have.  Your cheesecake will be flatter but it will still be delicious!  
    Sauces and crumbs:
    This recipe makes enough to generously coat at least three cheesecake sticks each, with plenty left over.  You could possibly get away with halfing the sauce recipes but you will need to be more judicious with your sauce coatings.
    Any leftover sauce can be stored in a covered container in the fridge for up to five days and used on ice cream, cheesecakes, pancakes, waffles etc.  
    Storage:
    In the fridge: not recommended.  Cheesecake sticks will defrost and will not be able to be picked up using their stick.  But can otherwise be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.  
    In the freezer: in an airtight container for up to a month.
