Tiramisu Cake Pops
These Tiramisu Cake Pops are a modern twist on the classic Italian dessert. With layers of coffee-soaked cake and creamy mascarpone, these pops will transport your taste buds straight to Italy!
Ingredients:
- 1 box of vanilla cake mix (plus ingredients needed on the box)
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
- Lollipop sticks or dessert sticks
Instructions:
- First, prepare the vanilla cake according to the instructions on the box. Allow the cake to cool completely after baking.
- Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese with the cooled coffee and coffee liqueur (if using). Stir until well combined.
- Combine the crumbled cake with the mascarpone mixture, ensuring everything is moist and well-blended.
- Using your hands, form small balls of the cake mixture and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- While the pops are chilling, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Once chilled, dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the whipped cream and insert the stick into the center of each cake ball, creating a pop. This helps to secure the stick.
- Return the pops to the refrigerator for another 15 minutes.
- Next, dip each cake pop into the whipped cream to coat it. Gently shake off any excess and place the pops back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Dust the tops of the cake pops with cocoa powder for an authentic tiramisu finish.
- Let the pops set in the refrigerator for about an hour, allowing them to firm up before serving.
Enjoy your delicious Tiramisu Cake Pops! They’re sure to be a hit at any gathering, bringing a taste of Italy to your dessert table. Happy baking!
