Here are my affordable and delicious Cake Pops… so easy a monkey could have made them!
Here is what you’re going to need (you may already have all these at home):
- Plain store-bought cake (pick your own, e.g. chocolate, red velvet, vanilla)
- Plain milk chocolate bar (enough to coat each cake pop)
- Condensed milk or frosting (about ½ of 1 cup, make sure the frosting/condensed milk isn’t more than the cake)
- Sprinkles (optional)
- First wash your hands, because you will be mushing the cake up into powder. Make sure to get the least amount of lumps you can.
- Then, add your frosting/ condensed milk gradually to the cake, mixing it up as you add more. Once you’re done, it should have a dough-like consistency.
Pro-tip: Try not to grab a big clump to eat it, it’ll be more tempting than you think!
- Shape your cake mixture into little spheres (side note: if your cake is too soft or sticky, add more ‘mushed’ cake to balance out the frosting/condensed milk).
- After you’re done shaping them, place them on a plate and pop them in the freezer for no more than 5-10 minutes.
- Take them out from the freezer and stick a popsicle stick in, or whatever is strong enough to hold them (the cake pops shouldn’t be hard; they should be solid, but not hard).
- Melt your chocolate bar and dip your spheres in. Once you’ve done that for each pop, stick them in the fridge for 20 mins. Or you can eat them hot- it doesn’t matter, they’re still as delicious!
- Add your toppings. Get creative and can add anything you like: wafers, chocolate chips, powdered sugar…
Eat them while ignoring the work you need to finish; these are the perfect stress-eating comfort food. Enjoy! Feel free to share them if you want- but I’m warning you, you might regret it!
