Fill the molds

Add sticks and freeze
FreezePush wooden sticks about two-thirds of the way into each popsicle. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.

Cook's noteMake sure the cream cheese is properly softened before blending so you don't get unblended chunks, and always chop the strawberries before measuring them out.
Want it lighter?
about 35 kcal less a serve, all swaps taken
These are already low-sugar (Swerve is non-caloric), so the main calorie lever is the fat from cream cheese and heavy cream. Swapping some of that for Greek yoghurt and more fruit lightens them, but they'll be less rich and a touch icier rather than creamy-dense.
113 g cream cheese → 56 g cream cheese plus 60 g plain non-fat Greek yoghurt
Cuts about half the cream-cheese fat while keeping the tangy body. Result is lighter and slightly less dense/fudgy, with a touch more tang.
60 ml heavy whipping cream → 40 ml heavy whipping cream plus 20 g extra strawberry puree
Keeps enough fat for smooth texture but adds fruit. Pops will be a little icier and less creamy, but more fruit-forward.
152 g fresh strawberries → 180 g fresh strawberries
More berry bulk per pop stretches the mix so richer ingredients are spread thinner, boosting flavour without adding much energy.
