Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of vanilla cake mix (or your favorite cake flavor)
- 1 cup of crushed glazed or powdered doughnut holes
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 package of chocolate or candy coating (for coating)
- Sprinkles, edible glitter, or decorative toppings (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the cake batter according to the package instructions. Bake in a 9-inch square pan and allow to cool completely.
- Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl.
- Mix in the crushed doughnut holes until evenly incorporated for authentic flavor.
- Add softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar to form a sticky, moldable dough. Use tools like the Fullstar Veggie Prep Master to crush doughnuts smoothly.
- Roll the mixture into small balls about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for 30 minutes.
- Melt your choice of chocolate or candy coating according to the package instructions. Consider using a Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker for quick melting and tempering.
- Dip each cake ball into the melted coating, tap off excess, decorate with sprinkles or glitter if desired, insert a stick, and refrigerate until set.
Notes
- Ensure cake is not overbaked to keep moistness.
- Use crushed pre-made doughnut holes for convenience.
- Vary coatings for different flavors such as white chocolate or caramel.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or freeze wrapped cake pops for up to 1 month.
