Description

Delightful and festive Snowman Cake Pops made from crumbled vanilla muffins and Oreo cookies, bound with cream cheese, and coated in creamy white chocolate. Perfect for holiday parties or winter celebrations, these adorable treats are decorated with dark chocolate and gummies to bring a charming snowman to life.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup cream cheese
  • 10 vanilla muffins
  • 8 Oreo cookies

Coating and Decoration

  • 2 1/2 cups white chocolate (approx. 400 grams)
  • Dark chocolate (as needed for decoration)
  • Gummies or sprinkles for the snowman’s nose
  • 8 sticks or straws

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oreo Crumbs: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. Set aside for later use.
  2. Crumb the Muffins: In a large bowl, crumble the vanilla muffins into small crumbs using your hands or a fork to ensure they break down evenly.
  3. Combine Crumbs: Add the processed Oreo crumbs to the crumbled muffin crumbs and mix well.
  4. Add Cream Cheese: Incorporate the cream cheese into the crumb mixture, mixing thoroughly with your hands until a smooth, homogeneous dough forms that is easy to shape.
  5. Melt Initial White Chocolate: Melt about a quarter of the white chocolate either in the microwave in short bursts or over a double boiler, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  6. Shape Cake Balls: Divide the dough into 16 equal portions and roll each into a ball by hand.
  7. Assemble Snowman Bodies: Brush the top of the first ball with melted white chocolate, then thread two balls onto each stick or straw to form the snowman’s body.
  8. Freeze Cake Pops: Place the assembled cake pops on a tray and freeze for at least 1 hour until they are firm and well chilled.
  9. Melt Remaining White Chocolate: Completely melt the rest of the white chocolate using the microwave or double boiler method, stirring until smooth.
  10. Dip Cake Pops: Dip each frozen cake pop into the white chocolate, coating all surfaces evenly for a smooth finish.
  11. Dry Coated Pops: Allow the white chocolate coating to dry and harden completely before proceeding to decoration.
  12. Decorate with Dark Chocolate: Melt a small amount of dark chocolate and use a piping bag or toothpick to carefully draw the snowman’s eyes, mouth, and buttons on each cake pop.
  13. Add Nose Decoration: Attach a gummy or sprinkle onto each snowman to serve as its nose.
  14. Set Decorations: Refrigerate the decorated cake pops so the chocolate decorations fully set and harden for a clean, finished look.

Notes

  • Ensure the white chocolate is fully melted and smooth for an even coating on the cake pops.
  • Freezing the cake pops before dipping helps the coating stick better and prevents the balls from falling off the sticks.
  • Be gentle when threading the cake balls to avoid breaking them apart.
  • Use a small piping bag or toothpick for detailed decoration with dark chocolate.
  • You can substitute gummies or sprinkles with small candies or colored sugar for the nose decoration based on preference.
