Easter Cake Pops Recipe

Ingredients:

400g (1 lb) icing sugar
75g (3 oz) unsalted butter
200ml (1 cup less 2 tbsp) double cream
400g (1 lb) chocolate cake, crumbled
60ml (4 tbsp) milk
300g (3/5 cup) white cooking chocolate
1 tsp red food colouring
1 tsp yellow food colouring
1 tsp green food colouring
icing flowers, to decorate
coloured sprinkles, to decorate
15 plastic lollipop sticks

Method:

Beat together 250g of the icing sugar with the butter until creamy. Whisk the cream in slowly and continue to whisk for 2 minutes, or until thick and smooth.

Add the crumbed chocolate cake into the cream mixture and whisk on low setting with an electric whisk until completely combined and fudge-like in consistency. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Combine the remaining icing sugar and milk in a bowl, stirring to form a thick paste. Melt the white chocolate in a heat-proof bowl, either in a microwave or over a pan of simmering water. Cook until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted. Divide between three glasses or a cups ready for dipping.

Mix the red, yellow and green food colourings separately into the white chocolate to yield a pink, yellow and red base.

Divide the chilled cake mixture into 15 equal-sized pieces and roll these into rough egg shapes with your hands.

Now dip the lollipop sticks into the pink melted chocolate and insert these most of the way into the chocolate cake balls. Carefully dip the cake balls into one of the coloured chocolates. Ensure that they are completely covered and let any excess drip off.

Now hold the cake pop over a sheet of baking parchment and sprinkle over the decoration of your choice. Now pour sugar into a cup and sit the cake pops upright in this. Affix the icing flowers and then set aside to set completely.
