How To Make Cake Pops No Bake

No-Bake Cake Batter Cake Balls are studded with sprinkles, a sweet vanilla, buttery cake batter filling and dipped in a white chocolate shell!

Are Cake Balls still popular? I’d say yes, based on the fact that when I arrived at a recent gathering with a plate full of these No-Bake Cake Batter Cake Balls, the party guests’ eyes lit up and I was excitedly questioned with ‘Did you make Cake Balls?!’ So yes, Cake Balls are still popular.

Even better, these No-Bake Cake Batter Cake Balls still have all the fanciness of traditional Cake Balls but with half the work. There’s no need to turn the oven on, bake a cake, mix up frosting, and mash the two together. These No-Bake Cake Batter Cake Balls can be made in the coolness of your kitchen with an electric mixer and your microwave, making them a perfect weekend project when the summer heat wave peaks.

Like my Oreo Cake Batter Cheesecake , these Cake Balls are studded with sprinkles both inside and out. They have a sweet vanilla, buttery cake batter filling and are dipped in a white chocolate shell that locks in all the Cake Batter sweetness!

Although these Cake Balls are simplified with their No-Bake status, they still require a bit of timely love due to the nature of dipping each Cake Ball individually into the white chocolate. You then must carefully maneuver the Cake Ball from the skewer and delicately lift it onto a piece parchment to set while topping it with a pinch of sprinkles for decoration. My advice is to turn on some of your favorite tunes and take your time doing this. I myself found it to be quite relaxing!

Since the dipping piece of this recipe can be a bit fussy, I created a quick how-to guide on how I successfully dipped each No-Bake Cake Batter Cake Ball.  My two key tools were a wooden skewer and flower lifter — used in traditional cake decorating to lift icing flowers on and off cakes. If you don’t have a flower lifter, a fork will also work favorably!

If you are a Cake Ball, Cake Batter, or Sprinkles fan, I guarantee you’ll enjoy this cake ball recipe! They’re perfect for a crowd or keep well in the fridge for up to week! I haven’t tried freezing these yet but I bet they’d even keep well in the freezer for 2-3 months in case you want to sneak a No Bake Cake Batter Cake Ball snack every now and again!

There's no need to turn on the oven with these No-Bake Cake Batter Cake Balls that are studded with sprinkles, a sweet vanilla, buttery cake batter filling and dipped in a white chocolate shell!I’m still very new to going sugar free and it’s something that I am trying to embrace. Can I be honest? It’s been an incredibly fun journey. I will let you giggle at that because it sounds ridiculous at first thought. This is the girl who used to thrive over creating copycat treats into gluten, egg, and dairy-free goodies and loved spending time with my oven. I loved sugar. Loved sprinkling it over dough and loved working with it without reservation.

So what happens when someone like me is told to stop eating sugar? Sweat with panic. Sure, that happens in the first moment but then what? I get back into the kitchen and find awesome recreations of the recreations I once made, that’s what. This time, however, I’m learning how to do so with safe ingredients that don’t mess up my blood sugar levels and keeps my Candida at bay. I found it even more serendipitous when Angela from Canned Time invited me to be a part of a blogger event, “Family Favorite Desserts” where each blogger shares a favorite dessert that has been veganized. The catch? It has to be made with stevia. That is all I can have these days anyway, so perfect.

Easiest Cake Pops Ever Recipe

So enter my new relationship with stevia. I will say, it took me some time to not only get used to it but also learn how to use it properly but I truly believe that is where a good brand comes in handy. (NuNaturals has been by far my favorite tasting stevia I have tried). It takes adjusting and to be honest, this journey hasn’t been about eating sweet treats every day.

I used to crave sweets around 3pm and then after dinner every day and would indulge that craving every time (I HAD to). Now that I have removed sugar from my diet, it has drastically decreased (which is insane considering, well…ME). So for those days I need something fun and sweet, these no-bake (almost raw) cake pops do the trick. Valentines-ready too!

No Bake Oreo Cake Pops

Based in Chicago with her husband and son, Cara is the creator behind the site Fork and Beans: A place where kids can have fun with their food.These Easy No Bake Cake Pops are a fun, quick and lightened up version of traditional cake pops. Made with almond and coconut flours, maple syrup and butter, they are naturally gluten-free, refined sugar free and so delicious your family will absolutely love them!

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!

No Bake Cake Batter Truffles Take 2

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.

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!

No Bake Cake Pop Recipe And Instructions

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.

Chocolate Cake Pops (2 Ways!)

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).
