How To Make Cake Pops Without An Oven

Christmas. But they can be made for ANY holiday including birthdays! They are so moist and the one sweet treat that everyone goes crazy for every year.

I love that these are easier to make than cake pops because they don't use a stick and can be dipped in red, white, brown or green chocolate.

These cake balls have become a Christmas family tradition that I started about 6 years ago. Now that my boys are a bit older, they are starting to help me make these to continue that tradition.

But every minute is worth it because these cake balls are SO delicious. Some people like to call them cake truffles but they are made without real chocolate like truffles are.

You can call them a stickless cakepop if you prefer! I made them WITHOUT the stick to make it more inconvenient for you and I. Plus, you don't have to worry about them falling off the stick!

Step 1: Make your cake mix according to the instructions on the back of the box. I replace the oil with butter and use a bit less. See below!

Step 6: Chill balls to harden them before dipping into melted chocolate. Place on parchment paper or a nonstick silicone mat and top with sprinkles. Allow the chocolate to set and harden.

I have been making cake balls for over 6 years now. I have even made a cake pop TOWER for a friends wedding which I had so much fun doing. Over the years I have learned what works and what doesn't. Here are my tips for you:

How do I dip cake balls?. This is the most common question I get and by far, the trickiest part of making cake balls.

How To Make The Best Beautiful And Easy Cake Pops

Since you do not have an actual stick to hold while dipping, coating your balls without them diving right into the chocolate can be a challenge.

The BEST way to dip a cake ball, is to use a toothpick, skewer or small fork as a dipping tool. The smaller, the better. I like to use mini wooden skewers because they are thick enough to hold the cake ball but not so thick where it will destroy my cake ball.

Then, after you dip your cake ball into the candy melts, let the excess drip off and set onto some parchment paper. You will have a tiny hole that you will need to PATCH using a small dab of chocolate over top. No one will be able to notice the hole after it dries.

The reason I LOVE cake balls so much is because of how versatile they are. You can use any boxed cake mix and any store-bought frosting! You can even use your own homemade frosting if you want. Here are some other delicious cake ball flavors you can try out!

Cake balls will be good for 5-7 days at room temperature if they are sealed properly. If you place them in a sealed container in the fridge, they can last up to 10 days.

You can freeze the naked cake balls (balls without chocolate) for months but once you coat them in the chocolate, you have to keep them in the fridge or on the counter.

If your balls fall off of your skewer when dipping, you may need to place 2 or three toothpicks together for a better hold.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.

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!

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.

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.
