White Chocolate Cake Pops Recipes

WHITE CHOCOLATE FROSTING

Steps:

• **Melt the white chocolate in advance and allow it to come to room temperature. If it is hot when you add it to the whipped butter, it will melt the butter and the texture of the frosting will be off.
• Using a stand mixer, beat the butter for 2 minutes until it is almost white in appearance. Drizzle in the white chocolate, mixing and scraping the bowl as needed as you pour it in.
• Add the powdered sugar and vanilla.
• Beat the frosting for 2-3 minutes until the frosting is smooth and creamy.

CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT CAKE POPS WITH MIRROR GLAZE

Steps:

• For the cake pops: Prepare and bake the cake according to the package directions for a 9-by-13-inch pan. Let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, put the white chocolate and heavy cream in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 30 second intervals until melted and smooth, stirring halfway through, about 1 minute. (You can also use a double boiler.) Carefully remove from the microwave and add the orange extract; stir to combine.
• When cool, crumble the cake finely into a large bowl and add the dried cranberries and orange-white chocolate ganache. Mix with a rubber spatula or your hands until the mixture is very well combined, completely moistened and holds together when pinched.
• Using a 3/4-ounce scoop, scoop rounded mounds of the mixture and shape into balls and place on a baking sheet. You should have about 36 balls. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• For the white chocolate shell: Put the white chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 30 second intervals until melted and smooth, stirring halfway through, about 1 minute. (You can also use a double boiler.) Carefully remove from the microwave and stir once more to make sure no lumps remain.
• Dip the tip of a lollipop stick into the chocolate shell and stick halfway into a cake ball. Dip the entire cake ball in the chocolate shell, letting any excess drip off, then press the stick into the Styrofoam block to stand upright. Repeat with the remaining balls and sticks. Refrigerate the cake pops until completely chilled and set, about 1 hour.
• For the mirror glaze: Sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup water in a small bowl; stir and set aside 5 minutes. Combine the remaining 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan with the granulated sugar and sweetened condensed milk. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat until the sugar has dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, then add the gelatin mixture and stir to dissolve.
• Put the white chocolate chips in a large bowl and set a fine-mesh strainer on top. Pour the gelatin mixture through the strainer to catch any small lumps; remove the strainer. Let stand 5 minutes for the chocolate to soften, then stir with a rubber spatula until smooth. Tint with food coloring (divide the glaze in half if you are using more than 1 color), then let sit, stirring occasionally, until thickened and a thermometer registers 90 degrees F. Transfer to a tall, wide glass container (such as a wide-mouth mason jar) for easy dipping.
• Working one at a time, dip the cake pops into the mirror glaze to completely coat letting any excess drip off. Return to the foam board (it may continue to drip for a minute or two). Transfer to the refrigerator to set completely, about 1 hour. (Even after setting, mirror glaze stays sticky, so make sure to space the pops apart).
• Using a small, clean art brush, dust the peanut butter cups with edible gold pearl dust, then place one on top of each cake pop "ornament" (see Cook's Note). Keep chilled until ready to serve.

CHAMPAGNE CAKE POPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees or whatever temperature your cake box indicates. Make your cake per manufacturers instructions and add in 1 1/2 teaspoons of champagne extract. Bake and remove from oven.
• Once your cake is cooked and cooled, using your hands or a food processor, shred the cake into crumbs into a medium sized bowl.
• In a separate smaller bowl, add in your pink frosting and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of champagne extract and mix. Add the frosting to the cake crumbs and stir and mash it all together until you have a big solid clump of cake and then cover it with plastic wrap and either chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours or even over night or move your bowl in the freezer for about an hour.
• Once your dough has chilled, scoop out enough batter into your hand to roll into a 1 inch ball. Once rolled, move the ball to baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all the batter has been used.
• In a small microwave safe bowl, heat the white chocolate on medium for 2 minutes, stirring after every 30 second interval until completely melted. Place a cake ball on a fork and dip into the chocolate and cover completely.

Once done, move pan to the refrigerator or freezer for about 30 minutes to set the chocolate. Once set, they are ready to serve
