Valentines Ice Cream Cake Pops


I am a huge believer in finding the joy in life.  Valentines Day is so much more fun now that we have children! We went all out this year and tried out this super cute cake pop recipe.  The girls got to make home-made valentines and treats for their neighborhood friends.  This recipe is less healthy and less homemade than the majority of our cooking but that's alright it's fun to have a special treat now and then ;-)  And everyone loved the pops so if you are looking for a cute birthday idea these are sure to please and can be decorated for any holiday or celebration

Recipe Modifications
  • I used a cookie scooper to scoop the cake balls.  They look just like mini ice-cream scoops
  • I found my balls too big to dip in the chocolate without falling apart.  So I dipped cone in chocolate, put the cake ball on and then used a spoon and poured over the balls.
  • I bought plastic wine glasses from the dollar store and used a beer six pack to transport the pops.  Worked perfectly!

1.5 to 2 cups cream cheese frosting
