Ingredients
1 box lemon cake mix
3 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
1 cup lemon curd
1 cup marshmallow fluff
1 cup white chocolate chips
Lollipop sticks
Instructions
- Prepare the Lemon Cake: Prepare the lemon cake mix according to the instructions on the box, using the eggs, oil, and water. Bake as directed, then allow the cake to cool completely.
- Make the Cake Pop Mixture: Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl. Add lemon curd and mix until fully combined and the mixture holds together.
- Form the Cake Balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and insert a lollipop stick into each ball. Place the cake pops on a baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes to firm them up.
- Coat with White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth. Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Add the Meringue Effect: Top each cake pop with a swirl or dollop of marshmallow fluff to create the meringue effect.
- Serve: Let the cake pops set before serving. Optionally, sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs for a pie crust finish.
Notes
Freezing Tips: Freeze the cake pops for at least 30 minutes before dipping in chocolate to ensure they hold their shape.
Flavor Variations: Swap the white chocolate for milk or dark chocolate if you prefer a different coating. You can also experiment with different flavored cake mixes.
Storage: Store leftover cake pops in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
