Ingredients
- 500 g leftover cake ( I used leftover hidden heart cake)
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk (150 g)
- 300 g white chocolate chips
- red sponge crumbs or sprinkles to decorate
Instructions
- Cut the leftover cake into cubes and add them to a blender.
- Blitz until you get breadcrumbs.
- Add the condensed milk and blitz again to get a smooth sticky paste.
- Line a square baking tray ( mine is 20 cm / 8 inches in diameter) with non-stick paper, and add the cake mixture to it, pressing it down well into one even layer.
- Pop it into the freezer for 15 minutes or until the mixture is firm enough to cut out shapes.
- Melt the white chocolate - either in a microwave or in a bowl placed in a colander that sists on top of a pan with simmering water.
- Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out hearts from the cake mixture.
- Insert an ice cream stick into each heart, then dip it into white chocolate.
- Arrange the cake pops on a large tray lined with non-stick paper, decorate with red cake crumbs or sprinkles, and allow the chocolate to set completely before removing the pops from the paper.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- The cake mixture won't hold its shape unless it's either refrigerated or placed in the freezer for long enough to be able to cut out heart shapes, but not too long to be fully frozen.
- If you choose any decorations for the cake pops, add them as soon as they have been coated in chocolate, once the chocolate sets, they won't stick anymore.
- Leave the cake pops to set completely on a non-stick paper, if they are removed too soon, they will stick to the paper and make a mess.
