Ingredients
- 350 grams chocolate cake, blitzed in food processor
- 175 grams milk chocolate broken into pieces
- 400 grams dark chocolate broken into pieces
- assorted sprinkles, to decorate
Method
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Place the milk chocolate in a heat proof bowl and set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally just until melted.
Step 2
Put the cake crumbs into the melted chocolate, and stir until well mixed. Use your hands to roll the mixture into balls each about as large as a golf ball. Insert a lollipop stick into each ball, place on lined baking sheet and leave in the fridge for about 20 minutes to firm up.
Step 3
For the chocolate coating: Place the dark chocolate in a heat proof bowl and set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally just until melted. Remove from the heat.
Step 4
Remove the cake pops from the fridge, then dip each one into the chocolate coating and either insert upright into a polystyrene block or place back on the lined baking sheet.
Step 5
Place somewhere cool, but not the fridge, and leave for 20-30 minutes or just until the chocolate has set. Before the coating sets on the cake pops, you can roll them in sprinkles.
