Cheesecake Slice Pops

• 6–8 food-safe popsicle sticks
• 120 g dark chocolate

5. 5.Repeat with the remaining wedges. When viewed from above, all handles should point outward around the cheesecake.
6. 6.Hold one wedge by its stick and gently slide it away from the rest of the cheesecake.
7. 7.Place the wedge onto a small plate or parchment-lined tray.
8. 8.Melt the dark chocolate gently until smooth.
9. 9.Spoon or pour melted chocolate over the outer portion of the cheesecake pop.
