How To Make Vegan Chocolate Cake Pops

This fun, festive, and customizable easy Vegan Cake Pops recipe is such a joy to make! Egg-less and dairy-free sponge cake crumbled and shaped into balls, then put on a stick, coated with glaze and decorated with colorful sprinkles. These bite-sized party goodies can be tailored to fit any type of occasion. Plus – after-party cleanup is easier!

Cakes come in many delightful forms and sizes, and I absolutely love them all! These miniature vegan cakes though are the bomb and perfect to use up leftover cake! They have a more contemporary presentation and are conveniently portable without the need for plates and utensils.

To make these Cake Pops, I used my super easy, no-fuss Vegan Funfetti Cake recipe. It requires very few plant-based ingredients and is ready to bake in just 1 minute! It is crumbled and mixed with vegan cream cheese and dairy-free milk if needed.

Vegan Chocolate Cake

While traditional cake pop recipes are made with Buttercream Frosting, I kept it easier and used just vegan cream cheese. Anyway, you can sub the vegan cream cheese by using 2 tbsp (30 g) of margarine + 1 tbsp dairy-free milk if your prefer.

This recipe yields 8 cute cake pops. However, feel free to make more by multiplying the recipe for larger gatherings. You can also use any leftover cake you have on hand. Whether it’s Chocolate Cake, Lemon Cake, Carrot Cake, Hazelnut Cake or whatever!

As always, I recommend checking out the recipe video and this step-by-step instruction first. Then you’ll find the full recipe with exact measurements in the recipe card below!

Recipe: Chocolate Cake Pops (vegan, Gluten Free)

First, bake the Vegan Funfetti Cake or another sponge cake and let it cool. Next, crumble the cake with your hands into a large mixing bowl, making sure there are no large lumps. Then add the vegan cream cheese and mix everything to form a dough. Depending on how dry or moist the cake is, you may need adding a little dairy-free milk. Now form about 8 balls from the mixture and place on a board. Then put in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes (or 20 minutes in the refrigerator).

Take the cake balls out of the freezer or refrigerator. Dip one end of the lollipop stick about ½ inch into the chocolate first and then insert it into the cake ball. Repeat with remaining sticks and balls and allow the chocolate to set.

Now dip the balls one at a time into the chocolate glaze until they’re completely covered. Allow to drip off a little, decorate with sprinkles, and then carefully place upright into a styrofoam block or box. This will ensure to get round balls without any imprints, however, you could also place them in a glass or on a surface lined with parchment paper. Allow the coating to set and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy!

No Bake Chocolate Cake Pops Recipe (healthy, Vegan, Gluten Free)

Here, I kept the design classic and charming, with choco glaze crusted with colorful sprinkles. You can also use white vegan chocolate or jazz it up with some fruity icing. Check out my Vegan Donuts, French Madeleines, Blood Orange Cake or Blueberry Bundt Cake recipe for inspiration! If you are looking for more variety with design, you can also swap the sprinkles with chopped nuts, coconut shreds, crushed candy bits, crystal or sanding sugars, vegan jimmies, or cookie crumbs! Sounds like so much fun, right?

I highly recommend using a Cake Pop stand or Styrofoam block to keep your freshly designed pops upright. This will keep the glaze and sprinkles intact and crease-free. If you don’t have one, just poke holes into a small box to use it as DIY Cake Pop stand.

However, if you don’t mind a few imprints, simply put your glazed cake pops into glass or lay them on a surface lined with parchment paper.

No Bake Vegan Cake Pops

You can usually find them in baking sections of groceries or supermarkets. They are also available to order online. However, if you can’t find one for any reason, you can try using bamboo skewers, popsicle sticks, or sturdy paper straws. Or make it into an ultimate sweet treat by using candy sticks in different flavors.

If all else fails, your final option is to not use a stick at all and make them into charming cake truffle bliss balls instead.

Of course, as long as the flour used to make the sponge cake is a gluten-free brand. Also, when choosing vegan chocolates and sprinkles, it is better to check first before using them. Some products may have added ingredients that might contain them.

Thanks to the vegan cream cheese and the chocolate glaze, the cake pops stay fresh and moist for a long period. This makes them ideal to make ahead a day or two before. Stored in the refrigerator they remain delicious for up to a week. They are also freezable goodies! You can store them in your freezer for a month or two.
