Description
These Red Velvet Cake Pops are the ultimate bite-sized indulgence—rich, moist cake blended with tangy cream cheese frosting, dipped in silky chocolate, and decorated to perfection.
Ingredients
- Red Velvet Cake: 1 standard 9-inch round cake, baked and cooled
- Cream Cheese Frosting: 3/4 cup
- Melting Chocolate or Candy Coating: 2 cups
- Vegetable Oil: 1 tablespoon (optional, for smoother coating)
- Sprinkles or Decorations: optional
- Lollipop Sticks: about 24
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and gather your tools.
- Combine Ingredients: Crumble the cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl. Mix with frosting until the mixture sticks together like dough.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Roll the mixture into even-sized balls and place them on the prepared sheet.
- Assemble the Dish: Dip the tip of each lollipop stick in melted chocolate and insert it halfway into a cake ball. Chill for 1 hour.
- Cook to Perfection: Melt the remaining chocolate with oil. Dip each cake pop to coat completely, letting excess drip off.
- Finishing Touches: Decorate immediately with sprinkles and let dry upright in a foam block.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the coating is set, serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Chill the pops well before dipping to avoid falling apart.
- Use oil-based food coloring if coloring chocolate.
- Store at room temp in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freeze undipped pops for longer storage.
