Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 8" square baking pan with enough foil to overhand sides by 2"; coat with cooking spray.

On medium speed, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth, 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add sour cream, cornstarch, vanilla and salt; beat until smooth and fluffy, 1 - 2 minutes. Transfer to prepared pan.

Bake 40 minutes or until set. Cool 30 minutes. Using foil to help, lift cheesecake from pan; cool completely on rack. Return to pan; cover. Refrigerate overnight.

Cut cheesecake into 24 portions; shape into balls; insert lollipop stick into each ball. Transfer to baking sheet; freeze until firm, about 1 hour.

Line another baking sheet with wax paper. Place garnishes in separate bowls. Dip balls, one at a time, into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off, then dip into desired garnish. Transfer to baking sheet.

Freeze until ready to serve.
