Ingredients:
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened

- ¼ cup honey

Helpful Tips:

- You can substitute the honey with agave syrup or maple syrup for a different nuance of sweetness.
- If you don’t have popsicle molds, small paper cups and wooden sticks can work as a great alternative.
Storage Instructions:
- Keep any leftover popsicles stored in the freezer, in an airtight container or wrapped in parchment paper, for up to two weeks.
Pairs Well With:
- Serve alongside a fresh fruit salad for a burst of color and nutrition.
