No Bake Cake Pop Recipe With Cake Mix

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!

No Bake Cake Balls

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.

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!

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.

For chocolate cake pops, add 1 tablespoon of raw cocoa powder to the dough and mix well. You can also stir in mini chocolate chips for chocolate chip cake pops or rainbow sprinkles for funfetti cake pops.

How To Make Cake Pops

Once the white chocolate is melted, work fast so it doesn’t harden before you get to the last cake pop. If it does harden, just place the bowl with melted white chocolate chips back in the microwave for 10 seconds and stir thoroughly. Repeat if needed until the chocolate is liquid again.

For a vegan version of cake pops, use melted coconut oil or vegan butter in place or regular butter and dairy-free chocolate chips.
