Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then mix in the sour cream and scrape down the sides.
Stir in the flour, vanilla, and salt until combined, then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Pour the batter into the springform pan and bake for 50 minutes or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
Let the cheesecake cool on a wire rack for one hour, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight until completely firm.
Scoop the chilled cheesecake into 1 1/2-inch balls, roll quickly to shape, and place on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper.
Insert a lollipop stick into each ball and transfer to the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
Melt the confectioners’ coating until smooth, dip each frozen pop to coat, immediately add toppings, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

For the smoothest finish, ensure your cream cheese is completely at room temperature before mixing to avoid any lumps in the batter. When dipping, work in small batches and keep the remaining cheesecake balls in the freezer so they stay firm and do not slide off the sticks. If the chocolate begins to thicken during the process, briefly reheat it to maintain a thin, even coating for the perfect snap.
