Smore Shortcake Pops Recipes

S'MORES CHEESECAKE POPS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a freezer bag or food processor, crush the graham crackers to a sand-like consistency. Add the melted butter and stir until combined.
• Transfer to an 8x8-inch (20x20-cm) baking dish lined with parchment paper and firmly pack it down to form the "crust." Freeze until the cheesecake mixture is ready.
• While the crust is freezing, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
• Spread the marshmallows out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Broil the marshmallows for about 1-2 minutes, watching closely to make sure they don't burn. You want them to brown up a little though to achieve a "toasted" flavor.
• Carefully scrape the marshmallows from the sheet into the cheesecake mixture. Mix thoroughly.
• Transfer the toasted marshmallow cheesecake mixture into the baking dish on top of the crust and smooth until even.
• Freeze at least 1 to 2 hours until the mixture is firm enough to cut. Remove the set cheesecake from the dish and cut into even square shapes, depending on how big you want your pops.
• Dip each stick in melted white chocolate and place into each cut square, this will help secure the sticks into the cheescake. Freeze until solid, about one hour.
• Microwave the milk (or dark) chocolate in 15 to 30 second increments to melt, stirring thoroughly each time. Add coconut oil if the chocolate seems too thick for dipping.
• Dip the set pops into the chocolate and stand upright to set (a cardboard box or piece of styrofoam works best if you don't have a stand).
• Decorate with the remaining white chocolate and crushed graham crackers.
• Enjoy!

S'MORE SHORTCAKE POPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. To measure Bisquick mix, lightly spoon into measuring cup; level off. In medium bowl, stir Bisquick, milk, sugar and butter until soft dough forms. Drop by 6 spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely; about 20 minutes.
• With fingers, crumble shortcake into large bowl. Add marshmallow creme; mix well with spoon, pressing with back of spoon if necessary, until dough forms. Form dough into 36 1-inch balls (mixture will be a little sticky). Place on cookie sheet. Insert craft sticks into shortcake balls but do not poke all the way through other side.* Gently squeeze shortcake balls around craft sticks. Freeze 15 minutes.
• In small microwavable bowl, melt chips and shortening uncovered as directed on package of chips. Stir until smooth. When dipping shortcake balls, work with 5 to 10 at a time, keeping the rest in the freezer. Gently dip each shortcake ball two-thirds into chocolate mixture; allowing excess chocolate to drip back into bowl. Sprinkle balls with small amount of graham cracker crumbs. Repeat with remaining shortcake balls and melted chocolate mixture. Place in white or green polystyrene foam to allow chocolate to harden. Once chocolate is hardened, eat immediately or store covered in refrigerator. If refrigerated, uncover and allow shortcake pops to stand at room temperature 15 minutes before serving.
