Yields13 Cake Pops
Preparation Time30 min
Chilling Time2 hr
Ingredients
- 13 Sugar ice cream cones
- 3 cups Cake crumbs - pre-baked and crumbled
- 1 1/3 cup White chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup White chocolate candy melts, in your choice of colors
- 1/2 cup Milk chocolate
- Sprinkles
-
First, make a ganache by heating the heavy cream in a saucepan over low-medium heat until it begins to simmer.
-
While the cream heats, place the white chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl. Set aside.
-
When the cream is simmering, pour it over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 3-4 minutes.
-
Whisk the chocolate and the cream until it forms a smooth ganache.
-
If you haven’t already, crumble your baked and cooled cake into fine crumbs.
-
Place 3 cups of cake crumbs in a mixing bowl and add ½ cup of the ganache.
-
Mix the cake and ganache until a smooth dough forms.
-
Prepare a baking sheet with a layer of parchment paper.
-
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the dough and roll it into a ball. Place the ball on a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough.
-
Place the baking sheet into the fridge to chill for at least ½ hour.
-
When the dough balls are through chilling, remove them from the fridge.
-
Dip a dough ball into some of the ganache and place it securely in one of the sugar cones.
-
Repeat with the remaining dough and place all the cones back on the tray to set in the fridge for another 1 hour.
-
To decorate your ice cream cone cake pops, melt your candy melts according to package directions and color with gel food coloring if desired.
-
Quickly dip one of your prepared and chilled cones into the melted chocolate, covering the dough ball portion completely.
-
Repeat with the remaining cones and return to the fridge for a few minutes to set.
-
Once set, use a filled piping bag or spoon to drip another color of candy melts on top of each of your cake pop ice cream cones, and immediately top with sprinkles.
-
Serve right away or place them back in the fridge to set until you are ready to serve!
