Red, White & Blue Cake Pops | Fourth of July Recipes
These red, white, and blue cake pops use Greek yogurt for a moist texture and are perfect for Fourth of July celebrations.
Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup white candy melts
- 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
- food coloring red & blue
- red, white & blue sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix, Greek yogurt, and water until a sticky batter forms. Separate the batter into three bowls. Use the red and blue food coloring to dye one bowl red and another bowl blue, leaving the third bowl uncolored.
- Pour the cake batter into separate greased baking dishes. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cakes are cooked through but not browning. Let the cakes cool completely. Chill until ready to form cake balls.
- Place all three cooled cakes into a large bowl. Use your hands to crumble the cakes until no pieces are larger than a half-inch in size. Grab 1-2 tablespoon-sized portions of the crumbled cake, then use your hands to press together the cake until a multicolored ball forms. Insert a straw into the center of each ball, pushing all the way through, but ensure the straw does not come out the top. Chill the balls for one hour.
- In a large mug or bowl, microwave the candy melts and vegetable shortening for about one minute. Stir until smooth. Dip each cake ball into the melted candy, spinning the ball slowly while inserting and removing it from the candy melts to achieve a smooth outer layer. Sprinkle on the red, white, and blue sprinkles while the candy is still wet.
- Chill for thirty minutes or until the candy has hardened. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
