Description
A trendy and delicious twist on the classic cake pop, these cake popsicles feature a moist cake center encased in a crisp chocolate shell.
Ingredients
2 cups prepared cake crumbs (vanilla, chocolate, or red velvet)
1/4 cup buttercream frosting
12 oz high-quality chocolate or candy melts
Optional: Sprinkles, edible glitter, or extra chocolate for drizzling
12 popsicle sticks
Instructions
Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the cake crumbs and buttercream frosting until a dough-like consistency forms.
Step 2: Melt your chocolate or candy melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.
Step 3: Using a small spoon or clean paintbrush, coat the inside of each popsicle mold with a layer of chocolate.
Step 4: Insert the popsicle sticks into the slots provided in the mold, then pull them out slightly (this keeps the hole open).
Step 5: Place the mold in the freezer for 5 minutes to set the first layer of chocolate.
Step 6: Apply a second thin layer of chocolate to the sides of the mold to ensure strength and freeze for another 5 minutes.
Step 7: Press a small amount of the cake mixture into each mold, leaving a tiny bit of space at the top for the final chocolate seal.
Step 8: Re-insert the popsicle sticks all the way into the cake centers.
Step 9: Spread a layer of melted chocolate over the back of the cake to seal the popsicle completely.
Step 10: Scrape off any excess chocolate and freeze for 15-20 minutes until completely firm before gently popping them out of the silicone molds.
Notes
If using real chocolate, ensure it is tempered for the best snap and shine. Silicone molds are essential for this recipe.
