This Strawberry Shortcake Cake Pops Recipe results in the most amazing summery cake pops you have ever eaten. Perfect for a summer dessert!
Tips for making Strawberry Shortcake Pops
Because the consistency of frosting can vary, as well as the juiciness of the strawberries, I recommend adding only 3/4 of the frosting before mixing in the strawberries and then slowly add more frosting until you get a consistency that holds together well. The mixture should already be somewhat firm before you refrigerate.
You can use any vanilla flavoured frosting. Whipped frosting or homemade buttercream works best though.
Strawberry Shortcake Cake Pops
(Yield about 30 cake pops)
INGREDIENTS:
12 oz Pound Cake
16 oz (2 cups) Fluffy White Frosting
1 lb chopped Strawberries
12 oz White Chocolate Dipping Tray
30 Lollipop Sticks
DIRECTIONS:
Crumble pound cake into large bowl.
Add Frosting a little at a time and mix well, until your mixture is the consistency of play doh. Do not add full amount of frosting unless necessary!
Fold in strawberries.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper.
Form into 3/4 – 1″ balls and place on cookie sheet.
Insert a stick in each and place in freezer until hard.
Melt chocolate by microwaving tray for 45 seconds, stirring and repeating until melted and smooth.
Dip each ball in tray and twist around to cover completely, shaking off excess.
Return to tray and refrigerate 1-3 hours to allow coating to set and cake to thaw.

Do you think freeze-dried strawberries would work in this recipe?

If you're going to do this recipe make sure you have an extra white cake mix box on hand. It doesn't not roll at all.. definitely needs to be adjusted, not good.

I have updated the recipe card to make it clearer for those who don't read the full recipe.

I also was disappointed with the recipe. 30 minutes in the fridge and the dough still was not firm enough to form balls. I even thought I’d add powdered sugar to thicken it up, and that didn’t work either. I ended up scrapping the whole thing.

You need to add the frosting a bit at a time until you get the right consistency rather than using the full amount all at once.

Fresh fruit has moister and will sweat Period. I would cook them down some or just used freeze dried for better results. Also go easy on icing a little at a time until just together. Im going to try the freeze dried and maybe a little strawberry puree or preserves for a babyshower. Will post the results on my instagram @aspiringchefbaby. i can post on here if you wish!

Tried this recipe and used fewer strawberries and less frosting than the recipe calls for. It never would firm up enough to even roll the mixture into balls. Disappointed.
