Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Potato masher or fork
  • Plate or lined cutting board
  • Lollipop sticks or bamboo skewers
  • Colander or styrofoam
  • Jar for dipping

Ingredients

  • 2½ cups vegan cake
  • 1½ cups semi-sweet dark chocolate chips vegan
  • ¼ cup sprinkles

Instructions

  • Add the cake to a bowl, and using a potato masher, combine until a “dough” is formed. Then, using wet hands, roll the cake into balls, approximately the size of a golf ball. You should get around 7 to 9 cake pop balls.
  • Set in the fridge for at least an hour.
  • While those set, melt 2 tablespoons of the dark chocolate in a bowl. You can do this with a double broiler method, or by melting in 10 second increments in the microwave.
  • Stick the bottom of the lollypop sticks or bamboo skewers into the melted chocolate, then into the cake balls, and place back in the fridge for a half hour to set. 
  • In the meantime, melt the remaining dark chocolate, and place it in a jar. Prepare something to put the cake pops in to avoid smashing the sides, like a colander with a plate underneath or styrofoam.
  • Remove the cake pops from the fridge, and carefully dip them into the chocolate until covered. Pour on a bit of sprinkles to the top of the cake pops as your desire. Place on the colander or styrofoam, and then store in a cool place for an additional half hour to harden. Enjoy immediately, or keep in the fridge for up to four days.
