Easy No Bake Vanilla Cheesecake Cake Pops

Who doesn’t love Cheesecake? This recipe is a pint-size version of the big thing.

You can make these miniature Vanilla Cheesecake Cake Pops for your next party or get together and savor all the flavor of an indulgent dessert.

I am not going to lie. I spotted a pound cake on sale at my local grocer. Every bone in my body tried to resist, but I just couldn’t. This was a good impulse buy.

Plus, if you didn’t know, I have a horrible sweet tooth. It is hard to resist.

But I honestly got home and want to make something different with it. I decided to turn them into Vanilla Cheesecake Cake Pops.

My creative side got to work.

Ingredients Needed

• 8 oz vanilla pound cake – Chop into bite-size cubes. You could use any vanilla cake of your choosing. I like pound cake because it’s dense and rich in flavor.
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• coconut oil for coating scoop
• 5 ounces candy melts or almond bark – Wilton melts are, in my opinion, the easiest to work with.
• Rainbow Sprinkles – not needed, but it does add some flair

Why I Use Leftover pound cake

If you have a leftover pound cake sitting around the house (Which I doubt) or rather pick one up at the grocery store) here is a great alternative to regular ole pound cake.

Plus, if is so much easier if you can just grab one and pick it up at your local store.

They are often on sale.

Picking up day-old pound cake works just as well. In fact, when we add in all the other ingredients you can not tell a difference. The cream cheese adds back moisture to a rich taste.

For this recipe, I used the following helpful kitchen gadgets:

• My Cuisinart food processor
• My Dough Scoop
• And not a gadget, but my favorite candy melts

 

Finally, you are ready to serve these delicious cake pops. You can even get fancy and add a cake pop stick to them as well. 

Please note that you will need to add the stick in place prior to coating them in white chocolate. 

Additional Notes

• Make these cake-pops extra special by using other items you may have in your pantry already. Use mini chocolate chips, toasted coconut, chopped nuts, or sprinkles, or dip the pops into caramel topping.
• Store the finished cheesecake pops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• If you do not have a microwave, you can melt chocolate using the double boiler method. It’s the traditional stovetop method that requires a saucepan and a metal or glass bowl.
