They’re easy to make, super cute, and delicious enough to impress everyone. Let’s jump into the recipe and get creative with these adorable little snowmen!
Ingredients
This recipe makes about 4 big snowman cake pops:
- 100g (3.5 oz) cream cheese
- 15 Oreo-style cookies
Toppings:
- White chocolate, melted
- Dark chocolate, melted
- Something orange for the nose (I used persimmon, but carrot or orange candy works too!)
How to Make Snowman Cake Pops
Step 1: Make the Cookie Mixture
1. Toss the Oreo-style cookies into a food processor or blender and pulse until they form fine crumbs.
2. Add the cream cheese to the crumbs and mix until you get a smooth dough-like consistency.
Step 2: Shape the Snowmen
1. Roll the mixture into 8 balls—4 larger ones for the bodies and 4 smaller ones for the heads.
2. Dip the tip of a cake pop stick into melted white chocolate, then insert it into a large ball. Dip the stick tip again and attach a smaller ball on top to form a snowman shape.
3. Place your snowmen on a parchment-lined plate or tray and pop them into the freezer for about 1 hour to set.
Step 3: Decorate the Snowmen
1. Once the balls are firm, dip each snowman completely into melted white chocolate, letting any excess drip off.
2. Use melted dark chocolate to draw on the eyes, mouth, and buttons with a toothpick or piping bag.
3. Cut a tiny piece of persimmon (or your orange ingredient of choice) and attach it as the nose.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
1. Let your decorated snowmen set in the fridge until the chocolate hardens.
2. Serve chilled and watch everyone fall in love with these cute holiday treats!
Tips for Perfect Snowman Cake Pops
- Smooth Finish: To get a flawless chocolate coating, make sure your melted chocolate is smooth and the snowman balls are very cold before dipping.
- Stick Alternatives: If you don’t have cake pop sticks, you can use skewers or sturdy straws instead.
- Fun Variations: Add sprinkles or mini candies for scarves and hats to make your snowmen even more festive!
These Snowman Cake Pops are not just delicious but also a fun activity for the holidays. Whether you’re making them for a party or as a sweet homemade gift, they’re guaranteed to spread some holiday cheer. Enjoy creating (and eating) these little snowmen! ⛄️✨🎄
