Healthy Cake Pop Recipe

Who is ready to eat chocolate and not feel guilty as guilty?!

I found this recipe on health.com while on the 7 day slim down so I could eat something somewhat better for me during a new years party.


My ingredients:

Here is what you will need:

  • Angel Food Cake
  • 1/2 cup 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 10-inch angel food cake
  • Paper lollipop sticks
  • Toppings
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • Assorted sprinkles, jimmies, candies, sliced almonds, toasted coconut flakes, chopped walnuts, crushed cookies

Preparation

1. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and powdered sugar; stir with a whisk.
2. With clean hands, break up the angel food cake into large pieces (about 6 cups total). Place in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form; transfer crumbs to a large bowl.
3. Add the cream cheese mixture and blend until a dough forms. Shape into 1-inch balls and insert lollipop sticks. Transfer to a large plate and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
4. Place the dark chocolate and white chocolate chips into separate microwave-safe bowls. Heat one bowl at a time for 30 seconds. Remove and stir until chips are melted and smooth (you may need to microwave for another 20 seconds). Immediately remove pops from the refrigerator and dip into either chocolate bowl; sprinkle with desired toppings. Serve immediately.




And there ya have it! Simple :)
I ate mostly the dark chocolate ones and added almonds to those.Everything in moderation people! Too bad I was in a hurry and didn't take a picture of the finished product. Whoops! I can safely say that they were good though!  

Happy Healthy Baking!
