Oreo Cake Pops


I've admired the whole cake pop phenomena from afar. Most that I have seen flying around the web look so creative and fun. I don't have any cake decorating training or experience so I've shied away from even attempting these things but my daughter asked for cake pops this week.  She had a double header (soccer matches) on her birthday & we decided to give it a "go" to share with her team mates. Although these aren't the penguins she wished for I do believe she was happy with the end result. They are cute as a button and taste pretty good too.



Here's how to make no bake Oreo cake pops:

1 package Oreo cookies
6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1" cookie scoop
Food Processor
Lollipop sticks
Sprinkles
Ribbon
Truffle cups
Wax paper
12 ounces white almond bark

Serves: 30 cake pops


Blend oreos in a food processor until a fairly fine consistency is achieved (no powder but not chunks).  Place Oreo bits in a large bowl. Add cream cheese. Roll up your sleeves and hand mix. Over and over until you are able to get the cookie scoop in there. Using the cookie scoop pat in firmly until full. Then pop out and roll with both hands until a round ball is formed.  Place on a wax lined cookie sheet. Place in the fridge or freeze for a bit (30 minutes).

Melt almond bark. Insert lollipop stick 1/2" into the melted bark, remove, puncture the Oreo pop then place the pop + lollipop stick into the bark until fully coated.  Strike the stick against the side of the bowl to remove excess bark.  Place the pop on the wax lined paper & sprinkle immediately.

Once all pops are formed tie ribbons on the sticks and serve!





We aren't giving up on the penguins...just adding it to our culinary to-do list. What's on your to-do list?

  1. Carrie, So true! Thankfully, I was able to unload all of them after the soccer game. I knew if any came home with us that I would eat them all!
