Paleo Cake Pops

Oh yes, I did it.  Paleo Cake pops and they are AMAZING.  I was so impressed with myself and my little cake pop maker that I literally jumped up and down.  I swear I never thought that thing would work.  It has been sitting in my pantry for about a year since I won it at my sisters wedding with some lucky golf shot during the grooms day.  Now it hasn't been put away and is used at least once daily.  Yea yea, I know you are drooling over that photo below so go ahead and make the recipe.  Just please share using those buttons above :)

Did you see these amazing pictures?  I have to be honest, of every food photograph I have ever taken, these are my favorite.  I have about 20 pictures of this recipe and I had to do eeny meeny miny mo to pick a few for the post.  Which one is your favorite?  Seriously though, I gave myself a high five and every time I look through them again, I have to make this recipe.  Actually, hold on, I am going to make it again right now………………………………..K I am back and much more motivated to type after that delicious chocolate.  I feel bad for making you read this when you could be cooking, so go enjoy :)

Ingredients
  

Cake pops

Vanilla glaze

Chocolate Glaze

Instructions
 

Cake pops

  • Plug in and preheat your cake pop maker
  • Place a small sauce pan over low heat and melt your chocolate and coconut milk together (only keep the heat on long enough to melt them together)
  • While melting, place your 2 eggs in a stand mixer with the whisk, or use a hand mixer with the whisk and beat your eggs until they are fluffy, about 1 minute
  • Add your coconut milk and chocolate to your eggs and mix well
  • Stir in your almond flour, sea salt, vanilla extract and baking powder
  • Mix well ensuring everything is combined
  • If using a cake pop maker, you need to pour all of your batter in a piping bag or large ziploc bag with a small corner trimmed off after filling
  • Pipe your batter into the wells of your cake pop maker ensuring you fill higher than the halfway point
  • Close the lid and let cook for 5 minutes, open the lid and turn your cake pops over
  • Close the lid and let cook for 2 more minutes
  • Remove from the cake pop maker, gently insert the sticks and place everything in the freezer for 30-45 minutes

Vanilla Glaze

  • Combine your coconut butter, honey, and vanilla extract in a small glass to make it easy to dip
  • You can keep this glass in hot water to keep the glaze more liquidy to make the dipping easier

Chocolate Glaze

  • Melt your chocolate chips over a double boiler and keep the heat low and them liquid

Assembly

  • Now it's time to dip your cake pops in your glaze. If you are going to do vanilla and chocolate, you are going to have to freeze them in between dips to keep the first coating solid
  • Remove your cake pops from the freezer, and one at a time dip them in your vanilla glaze and spin it around so all the excess drops back in the glass
  • You should see it harden in 15-20 seconds in front of you, then dip it back in for another round of glaze
  • You can place them in an egg carton flipped upside down or lay back down on a plate or parchment paper if they don't need to be so pretty
  • You can now dip some others in chocolate, drizzle chocolate on them and garnish with your maple sugar
  • I like to keep my cake pops in the refrigerator until serving

Notes

I used a cake pop maker for these. If you are doing them in the oven, you will need to adjust cooking time to match your method.

    Entered!! My kids would go crazy if I made these for their birthdays! Always a struggle to make them feel normal when it comes to celebrations :(

  107. Anne

    Oh wow!!!! I really want to make these. I’m sure I I brought them into our paleo potluck at the box they’d disappear in an instant. It’s funny, I received a similar looking device that was a doughnut maker for Christmas one year, but I traded it in because I thought I would only eat paleo-which didn’t include any fancy paleo doughnuts at the time. Wish I would’ve kept it!
    I entered on FB to win, I hope this is the right place to comment.

  118. Corrin Corbin

    I passed a CakePop maker the other day and thought “Yeah right, that would never work.” But now I MUST try! Would so love to win this little wonder!

    Nice job on the pops, and those pictures are magazine-worthy (as are all of your pics). I like the 2nd one best.

    Totally liked and entered! You are my hero for making this. The blue with chocolate drizzle and sprinkles is my favorite.

  182. Momma Jo

    George you seemed to have so much fun the day you got into making cake pops. That being said I am glad you shared the secret of how you made such perfect lil pops. I was thinking hmmm if I tried that they would look like lumps and clumps..not so much with the handy lil machine and (lifelong pain issues) one would not have to bend over and over again to put them in the oven. Nice.

  184. Karina Manzanedo

    I love baking paleo and I’ve never made cake pops before so this would be perfect!

  188. Beth

    Just entered this cake pop contest. Would love to whip up some cake pops with a fabulous new tool! :)

  192. Tommie Polizzotti

    I liked/entered the contest! I can only imagine how having the ability to make your chocolate cake pops will change the lives of the men in my house who have to live with mine and my daughter’s chocolate cravings and attitudes! These could be life changing ;)

  207. beth conde

    I have copied this recipe to my “must try immediately” section. They look absolutely delicious and would be a great addition to my bulletproof coffee in the morning; the only trouble will be refraining myself from eating them all as soon as they are finished!

    I’ve never tried cake pops. So now you’ve given me a chance to do so. Great! I’ve entered and looking forward to it!

  334. Michelle Mikula

    Liked and entered! My daughters and I would have so much fun making cake pops with this cake pop maker. We usually bake a cake in a regular cake pan, crumble it, form the crumbled cake into balls and freeze before dipping. This would make life easier :) Thanks George for this recipe!! We’ll definitely be trying it out soon!

  360. Jeannie

    I am so excited, I entered. And hopefully I can win and use this to make my Sister some when she gets back from deployment in Korea. She has been running half marathons for a couple years and did her first full marathon when she came home on leave,we get to see her every two years or so. Hopefully she gets back on time, 15 Dec 2013, although we are very worried since the current President hates the military and has no problem leaving people to whatever horrible things can happen. Sorry this is probable too long and detailed but she has been on my mind and I just want her home safe. Her and all our military needs to be home before more things like Libya are allowed to happen again.

  364. Stefanie Pepperling

    Done and done!

Much easier than the other method of baking cakes, crumbling and mixing frosting and then making them into what ever size u want and then putting in refrigerator and then on sticks and dipping into chocolate. So much extra work and this lil machine will make it alot more easier.
