Instructions
- Blend softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.

- Freeze cheesecake balls for approximately 2 hours until completely firm and solid.
- Melt white chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Remove cheesecake balls from freezer and insert lollipop sticks into the center of each ball.
- Dip each cheesecake pop into melted white chocolate, ensuring complete and even coverage.

Notes
- Swap out regular cream cheese for a dairy-free alternative like cashew cream cheese to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
- Enhance the butterscotch flavor by adding an extra tablespoon of butterscotch syrup or using butterscotch pudding mix for deeper richness.
- Freeze the cheesecake mixture for at least 2 hours before forming pops to ensure they hold their shape perfectly during dipping and coating.
- Use a small cookie scoop or melon baller to create uniform, bite-sized cheesecake balls that are easy to eat and visually appealing.
