These decadent red velvet cake pops are made from crumbled cake mixed with cream cheese frosting, dipped in white chocolate, and drizzled for an elegant finish. Perfect for celebrations or a sweet treat, they are easy to make and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups crumbled red velvet cake (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (4 oz) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • Red food coloring (optional)
  • Sprinkles or decorations (optional)
  • Wax or parchment paper

Instructions

  1. Crumble about 4 cups (approx. 480g) of red velvet cake finely into a large bowl.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat 1 cup (240g) softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup (115g) softened unsalted butter until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gradually add 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until fluffy and light, scraping the sides occasionally.
  4. Gently fold the frosting into the crumbled cake until the mixture holds together when pressed but is not overly wet or sticky. Adjust by adding more frosting or cake crumbs if needed.
  5. Form the mixture into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls using a cookie scoop or hands. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Melt 12 oz (340g) white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, stirring often to avoid burning until smooth and glossy.
  7. Optional: Insert wooden skewers or lollipop sticks into each cake ball.
  8. Dip each cake ball into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place back onto parchment paper.
  9. Drizzle extra melted white chocolate over the dipped cake pops using a spoon or piping bag.
  10. Before the drizzle sets, add sprinkles or edible glitter if desired.
  11. Refrigerate the cake pops for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.

Notes

If the cake balls feel too soft to dip, chill them for an additional 10-15 minutes. Adding a teaspoon of coconut oil to the melted white chocolate helps achieve a smoother coating. Use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut oil-based white chocolate for vegan options. Gluten-free red velvet cake can be used for gluten-free adaptations.
