How Do I Make Red White And Blue Cake Pops?
Prepare cake mix according to the directions on the box.
Let the cake cool completely. Once cooled, crumble the cake into small crumbles. Mix in the cream cheese frosting until well combined. Take 1 tablespoon of the mix and form it into a ball and place it on a cookie sheet. Repeat the process until all of the cake crumbles have been used.
Place the cake balls into the freezer for a half-hour to harden up a bit.
Five minutes before you pull the cake balls out of the freezer, melt the vanilla wafers. Microwave the wafers in 30 second intervals. Once the wafers are melted, mix in the coconut oil.
Remove the cake balls from the freezer and push one stick into the center of each of the balls. Stretch some cling wrap over three cups and set aside.
Dip the cake balls into the chocolate and decorate with sprinkles immediately. Push the cake pop sticks into the cling wrap covered glasses to dry completely.
Can I Freeze Cake Pops?
The answer is a resounding yes. I like to use the flash freeze method. After the finished cake pops are dry and set, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet for one hour. After they are flash-frozen, store them in a freezer-safe container. You can also freeze the undecorated cake balls too. Just defrost them before decorating.
