Description
Delicious and fun Red Velvet Cake Pops made from cake crumbs and cream cheese frosting, perfect for parties and gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box red velvet cake mix (or 2 cups baked red velvet cake, crumbled)
- 1 cup cream cheese frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- 12 oz white candy melts or white chocolate, for coating
- 1–2 tsp vegetable oil (to thin coating if needed)
- Lollipop sticks or cake pop sticks
- Sprinkles or cocoa powder (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Bake the cake according to package directions or use leftover cooled red velvet cake. Let it cool completely.
- Crumble the cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl.
- Add about 3/4 cup cream cheese frosting to the crumbs and mix until the mixture holds together.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into smooth balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Chill the balls in the fridge for 30 minutes or in the freezer for 10–15 minutes until firm.
- Melt the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Stir in vegetable oil if needed.
- Dip the tip of a lollipop stick into the melted coating and push halfway into a chilled cake ball.
- Hold the stick and dip the cake pop into the coating, tapping to remove excess and twirling for a smooth finish.
- Place the dipped pop upright in a foam block or on parchment. Add sprinkles before coating sets.
- Let the pops set at room temperature or in the fridge until coating is firm.
