Easter Cake Pops

These simple Easter cake pops are a breeze to prepare. Whiz up some Oreos and cream cheese in the food processor, roll into balls, then dip those balls in chocolate. Plus, I’m offering a few tips to help the procedure run smoothly.

I’m no expert, as the dipping part is always a bit of a challenge. Type A aspirations with Type B results. But the the family loved these chocolate bonbons on sticks, even the rejects!

Tips for Making Cake Pops:

• I used the same filling as in my Oreo Truffles, simple a package of regular Oreos and an 8-ounce block of cream cheese. I noticed the ounces in a package of Oreos has decreased (surprise, surprise!) so I added a couple extra to make up for the weight discrepancy.
• PRO-Tip: If your filling mixture is too soft, just refrigerate it for a while before rolling it into balls. And you can refrigerate the rolled Oreo balls while you melt the dipping chocolate and organize your sprinkles. I don’t recommend freezing your Oreo balls, then immediately dipping as the coating will harden up quickly and your sprinkles won’t adhere.

• I was taught to dip the “pop” stick in a little of the melted chocolate before inserting it into the Oreo ball. I did a few without this time and I’m not sure there was much of a difference.
• I used Ghirardelli white chocolate melts instead of just melted white chocolate. It melts easily and will not bloom like chocolate when cooled (though it’s not as noticeable with white chocolate).

• Dust with colored sugars or festive sprinkles to match the holiday or celebration. I found these Easter sprinkles at Target, but they’re also available on Amazon.

Easter Sweets

Easter desserts run the gamete from super easy, to store-bought to decadent, multi-step creations! These Easter cake pops are super easy as is the Fudge Lamb that my family requires! This Berry Tiramisu was another winner and you can’t go wrong with a Perfect Vanilla Cheesecake.

Ingredients

• 15 ounces Oreos

Instructions

1. Process Oreos in a food processor till fine crumbs form.
2. Cut the cream cheese into 6-8 pieces and add to the crumbs.

4. Shape the mixture into tightly packed 1-inch balls and set on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
5. Chill for at least one hour or overnight.
6. Melt the Ghirardelli Melting Wafers as directed on the package.
7. Insert a stick into each ball, then dip the balls into the white coating.

9. Refrigerate for about an hour before serving. Store covered in refrigerator.

Notes

*The latest Oreo packaging is less than 15 ounces. I added a couple extra Oreos to my food processor to make up for the shortage.

2 pops = 1 serving
