Description
Simple recipe for making moist red velvet cake pops dipped in chocolate coating.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15.25 oz) box red velvet cake mix
- 1 (8 oz) container cream cheese frosting
- 12 oz white chocolate melting wafers
- 12 oz dark chocolate melting wafers
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Cake pop sticks
Instructions
- Prepare the red velvet cake according to the package directions, using the ingredients listed on the box.
- Bake the cake and let it cool completely.
- Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl.
- Add the cream cheese frosting to the cake crumbs. Mix until fully combined and the mixture holds together when squeezed.
- Roll the mixture into small, uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the cake balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Melt the white chocolate wafers and dark chocolate wafers separately according to package directions, adding 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to each batch for smoother consistency.
- Dip the tip of a cake pop stick into the melted chocolate and insert it about halfway into a chilled cake ball. Return to the refrigerator for 5 minutes to set the stick.
- Dip the entire cake ball into the melted chocolate, rotating to coat completely. Tap the stick gently against the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
- Place the coated cake pop upright in a styrofoam block or stand to dry completely.
Notes
- For a thinner coating, add a small amount of shortening to the melted chocolate.
- You can use colored candy melts instead of white chocolate for different colors.
- Keep the cake balls cold before dipping for best results.
