Description
Indulge in the velvety texture and vibrant blue hue of these quick and easy Glacier Blue Velvet Cake Pops – the perfect bite-sized dessert for any occasion!
Ingredients
– 1 box (15.25 oz) blue velvet cake mix
– 1/2 cup water
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 3 large eggs
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
– 2 cups white candy melts
– Blue food coloring (gel or liquid)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until well blended.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.
4. In a food processor, crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs. Add the cream cheese and powdered sugar, then pulse until the mixture forms a smooth, dough-like consistency.
5. Scoop the cake mixture by the tablespoonful and roll into 1-inch balls. Place the cake balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy melts according to the package instructions. Stir in a few drops of blue food coloring until you achieve the desired shade of blue.
7. Dip each cake ball into the blue candy coating, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the coated cake pops back on the baking sheet and refrigerate until the coating is set, about 15 minutes.
Notes
For a fun variation, you can add sprinkles or crushed graham crackers to the outside of the cake pops before the candy coating sets. These Glacier Blue Velvet Cake Pops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
