Description
Festive Grinch Cake Pops made easily in an Instant Pot, perfect for holiday celebrations!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box Devil’s Food cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil, plus extra for greasing
- 1 1/2 cups water (for pressure cooking in the Instant Pot)
- 4 tbsp cream cheese frosting
- 12–16 oz white baking chocolate
- Green food coloring
- 35 red heart sprinkles (one per cake pop)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake in the Instant Pot: Mix the cake batter according to the box instructions with the eggs and vegetable oil. Grease a springform cake pan and pour in the batter. Cover the pan with aluminum foil. Add water to the Instant Pot and place the trivet inside. Set the cake pan on the trivet, seal the lid, and set to Manual High Pressure for 50 minutes. After cooking, perform a quick release and let the cake cool completely.
- Make the Cake Pops: Once the cake has cooled, crumble it into a bowl. Mix in the cream cheese frosting until it forms a dough-like consistency. Roll the mixture into balls and place them on a lined cookie sheet. Freeze for 15 minutes.
- Decorate with Green Chocolate & Heart Sprinkles: Melt the white chocolate and add green food coloring to achieve the desired shade of Grinch green. Dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate to coat them thoroughly. Place them on parchment paper and add a red heart sprinkle on top of each one before the chocolate sets.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has hardened, your Grinch cake pops are ready to enjoy! They make a great festive snack or gift.
