Description
Combining the rich, moist texture of red velvet cake with a creamy, tangy frosting and a crisp white chocolate coating, these cake pops are an irresistible snack that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups red velvet cake, baked and cooled completely
- 1/2 cup cream cheese frosting
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate or candy melts
- 2 tablespoons red velvet cake crumbs or sprinkles (optional)
- 24 lollipop sticks
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or shortening (optional)
Instructions
- Start by baking your red velvet cake as per your favorite recipe or using a box mix if you prefer. Allow it to cool completely; this step is crucial for ideal texture.
- Once cool, crumble the cake into fine, uniform crumbs using your hands or a fork. The finer the crumbs, the better they will hold together when combined with the cream cheese frosting.
- Next, take your crumbled cake and gradually mix in the cream cheese frosting until you reach a consistency that allows you to form the mixture into balls.
- Scoop out portions using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop and roll them into 1-inch balls. Lay them on a parchment-lined tray and chill in the refrigerator for about an hour.
- Prepare your chocolate coating by melting the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals.
- Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted chocolate and then insert it into the center of each cake ball.
- Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off, and decorate as desired.
- Place the cake pops upright to set until the chocolate hardens completely before serving.
Notes
Store the cake pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerate them if the weather is warm.
