Red White And Blue Cake Pops Recipes

RED, WHITE AND BLUE CAKE POPS

Steps:

• Line several cookie sheets with waxed paper. Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan, using water, oil and eggs. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• With fingers, crumble cake into large bowl. Add frosting; mix well with fingers until dough forms. Shape into quarter-size balls; place on cookie sheets. Freeze about 15 minutes.
• When ready to assemble, in small microwavable bowl, microwave candy melts uncovered as directed on bag. Stir in shortening until smooth and mixture runs off spoon.
• Remove cake pop balls from freezer. Dip tip of each craft stick into melted candy, then halfway into 1 cake ball; place on waxed paper-lined cookie sheet.
• When all cake balls have sticks, gently swirl 1 cake ball in melted candy to coat well; allow candy to drip back into bowl. Dip ball into candy sprinkles to decorate; place in plastic foam to allow candy to harden. Repeat with remaining cake balls and melted candy.

RED, WHITE, AND BLUEBERRY POPS

Steps:

• In a blender, combine strawberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice. Puree, scraping down sides as needed. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids; discard solids. Divide puree among six 4-ounce or eight 3-ounce ice-pop molds. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Combine yogurt, cream, and 2 tablespoons each sugar and lime juice. Remove molds from freezer and top with yogurt mixture; insert ice-pop sticks. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
• In clean blender, puree blueberries, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice. Pour through clean sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids; discard solids. Remove molds from freezer and top with blueberry puree. Freeze until solid, 6 hours more (or up to 1 week). Just before serving, briefly run molds under hot water to release pops.

RED, WHITE AND BLUE OREO COOKIE POPS

Steps:

• Add the sandwich cookies to the bowl of a food processor and pulse just until roughly chopped. Add the cream cheese and continue pulsing until the mixture is smooth and there are no large visible pieces of cookie.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment. Using your hands, pinch off about 14 pieces of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls. Arrange the balls on the baking sheet then insert a lollipop stick into each and freeze them until hardened, about 20 minutes.
• Once the cookie pops have hardened, place the red candy melts in a small microwave-safe bowl with 2 teaspoons oil if desired (see Cook's Note). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute. Dip one-third of the chilled cookie pops into the melted red candy melts, shaking off any excess, and then immediately top them with the corresponding red sprinkles.
• Return the cookie pops to the baking sheet (see Cook's Note) and repeat with the blue and white candy melts and the remaining chilled cookie pops.
• Refrigerate all of the cookie pops until their candy melt coating has fully hardened, an additional 5 minutes, then serve.
