Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Begin with your freshly baked red velvet cake. Allow it to cool completely before crumbling it into a large mixing bowl.
- Scoop in your cream cheese frosting with the cake crumbs. Use your hands to mix everything together until you achieve a dough-like consistency.
- Take about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a smooth ball. Repeat until all the mixture is shaped into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Melt a small amount of your chocolate coating in the microwave, then dip the end of each lollipop stick into the melted chocolate before inserting it into the cake pop balls.
- Pop the baking sheet with the cake pops into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
- Melt the remaining chocolate coating. Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Gently tap to remove excess chocolate.
- Before the chocolate hardens, roll your cake pops in sprinkles or drizzle extra chocolate on top for an added crunch or flair.
- Place the cake pops upright to set completely, using a block of Styrofoam or a cake pop stand. Once set, they’re ready to be enjoyed!
Notes
Red Velvet Cake Pops are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container. For longer storage, they can be frozen for up to 3 months.
