I love making cake pops because they’re a total crowd pleaser! They are fun and festive bites that both kids and adults alike adore.

If you are wondering, cake pops are crumbled cake mixed with frosting and rolled or shaped into bite-size balls, which are then dipped in melted candy wafers (or chocolate) and served lollipop style on a stick.

No Bake Cake Pop Recipe And Instructions

After the cake has completely cooled, it’s time to crumble it up and mix it with your frosting. As I mentioned before, I prefer to use store-bought frosting not only because it makes my life easier, but since we only need just a small amount, it is not worth it to complicate things.

Stick the decorated cake pop upright into a styrofoam block or box to finish the setting. The coating will be completely set within an hour or so.

Bake the cake the day before and let it cool overnight. Then just make the mix, coat, and decorate the following day.

Don’t add too much frosting, or your cake pops will turn out super wet and greasy. The crumbs must be barely moistened.

To ensure the cake ball stays secure on the lollipop stick, dip a lollipop stick into the coating, then insert it into the center of the cake ball. Refrigerate or freeze.

If using chocolate for coating, add 1/2 teaspoon vegetable or coconut oil to thin out when melting, so it’s easier to use as a coating.

If the JUST melted candy coating is too thick and gummy, add 1 teaspoon of shortening, reheat for 10 seconds and mix.

You can buy a block of styrofoam at crafts stores or Walmart. You can also use a box; just poke super tiny holes into it. Easy and cheap.

Yes, you can! It was moreexpensive, but of course, the taste is better. If using chocolate for coating, add 1/2 teaspoon vegetable or coconut oil to thin out when melting, so it’s easier to use as a coating.

Freeze: Freeze dipped cake pops for up to 6 weeks once the coating has fully set. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and enjoy!

Candy Melts vs White Chocolate: White chocolate is more expensive, but of course, the taste is better. If using chocolate for coating, add 1/2 teaspoon vegetable or coconut oil to thin out when melting so it’s easier to use as a coating.

How To Make Gluten Free Cake Pops

This no bake cake pop recipe is very special to me because it marks 100th recipe on Wholly Tasteful! To celebrate, I wanted to celebrate with something festive but quick and simple and that's how these delicious treats were born!

I’ve been thinking about making a healthier rendition of classic Starbucks cake pops for a while and these turned out better than any cake pops I’ve ever had. Seriously, they are so delicious it’s very hard to limit yourself to eating only one!

I love making healthier versions of sweet treats using almond and coconut flour, such as in these Healthier Reese’s Eggs, my Healthy Rice Krispie Treats or these vegan Healthy Almond Shortbread Heart Cookies. For the base of this recipe, I decided to use raw cookie dough made with a combo of these 2 flours, maple syrup, vanilla, salt and fat. I’ve experimented with coconut oil and nut butters and both work well but I found that melted butter gives these cake balls a truly cake-like flavor and texture.

How To Make Delicious Cake Pops Without Buttercream Frosting

These fabulous pops are super moist and soft on the inside and wonderfully crunchy and sweet on the outside, thanks to the winning white chocolate + colorful sprinkles coating. Best part? They are not only healthier but also SO MUCH easier to make than traditional cake pops made with baked cake!

Make sure to also try these Strawberry Cake Pops, No-Bake Cheesecake Balls and these No-Bake Freezer Carrot Cake Bars for more great no-bake recipes.

Step 1: Make the dough. Place both flours, vanilla, maple syrup, butter and salt in a bowl and mix with a silicone spatula until dough forms. So easy and no electric mixer needed!

Step 2: Form dough balls. Use a small cookie scoop or a spoon to divide the dough into 12 equally sized portions (the size of a walnut). Then roll into uniform round balls using your hands.

Step 3: Chill. Insert a lolipop stick in the middle of each dough ball (almost all the way in) and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.

Step 3: Melt the chocolate. I use a microwave safe plastic bowl and melt the chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring in-between until all the chocolate is melted.

Step 4: Coat the cake pops and decorate with sprinkles. Dip each cake pop in melted chocolate (using a spoon if needed) and sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles right away. Place in a cake pop stand, a piece of Styrofoam or on a paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat 12 times.

Step 5: Let the cake pops set in the fridge. Carefully place the cake pops in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is completely dry to touch.

After the cake pops are completely set and dry to touch, you can store them in an airtight container or in a ziplock bag for up to a week in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer. If you freeze them, you can either enjoy them frozen or leave them out in room temperature for a couple minutes to thaw and serve!

Raw wheat flour is not safe to eat so you technically could but you would need to toast it in the oven first. I’ve seen no-bake treat recipes using toasted flour but haven’t tested it myself.

If the dough seems crumbly, just place the dough ball in the palm of your hand and squeeze for a couple seconds. The warmth of your hand will make it more pliable and easier to roll. If it’s still too crumbly, add a tiny bit more melted butter or a tablespoon to two of milk (or non-dairy milk).

Yes! If you want to make these without sticks, form the balls, place them in the fridge to set and then use a fork to dip them in melted white chocolate. Place on a paper-lined cookie sheet to set.

It is helpful to have one but if you don’t make cake pops often, you certainly don’t need it. If you have any styrofoam at your house, it makes an excellent DIY cake pop stand. Another option is to just place dipped cake pops onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and leave them to set. They won’t have a perfectly round coating but will still taste delicious!

If you want different color cake pops (blue or pink for a baby shower, for example), add a few drops of food coloring to melted white chocolate chips and stir until uniform color forms. You can also use milk or dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate.
