Strawberry and Vanilla Bean Cheesecake Pudding Pops

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream and confectioners sugar until soft peaks form. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine the pudding mix, milk and vanilla bean paste stirring constantly until it begins to thicken. Approximately 3 minutes. Fold in the strawberry preserves and 1 1/2 cups of the whipped cream until combined. (you may have leftover whipped cream….use a spoon and eat it. Do not share.) Pour the mixture into molds, or cups if using, and insert the sticks into the center of the pops. If you’re using cups, wait approximately 20-30 minutes before adding the sticks. Freeze for 3 hours or overnight. Enjoy!
