Cake Pops!
Posted on July 30, 2019 by ofsweetcravingsandfairytales
The newest trend these days are cake pops. They look so cute and are super fun way to use any leftover cake and make it fun for the kids and even adults.
All you need is some Cake, Hershey’s Sauce, melted Chocolate, Sprinkles and Straws.
Take your leftover cake and using your clean hands mesh it into crumbs in a bowl. Add in some Hershey’s sauce to it to bind it together. Now take a handful of the mix and roll it between your palms and make into a ball. Insert the straws in the middle and dip the balls into the melted chocolate. Sprinkle the pops when they are wet and place them on parchment paper to dry. And it’s that easy to make these beauties. Let them set for 15 minutes before serving them in mason jars. Ensure your straws are of sturdy quality otherwise they will fall off.

What a great show of community spirit as whole of India went into a self imposed curfew yesterday. It raises hope that we can overcome the worse of situations if we stand together. Next few weeks are so crucial. Please continue to stay indoors and only step out if you are out of essentials or in need of medical care. Let's do this guys. Strawberry Scones that I made last week. It's been so hectic since then but I promise I will be posting more frequently. 🌼All purpose flour: 3 cups
🌼 Baking powder: 2 1/2 tbsp
🌼 Castor sugar: 2 1/2 cup
🌼Eggs: 2 eggs
🌼Milk: 4 tbsp
🌼Cold water: 4 tbsp
🌼 Vanilla essence: a few drops
🌼 Butter cubed and cold: 200 gm
🌼 Strawberries: 1 cup
Now this dough needs to be cold. So make sure all the wet ingredients are cold as well as the butter. Break down the butter into the flour using a fork. Let there be some chunks. Add in one tbsp of milk along with one tbsp of water in alternatively. Keep adding till the dough comes together roughly. Add strawberries at this stage. Just mix till it comes together. Stop and put it in a Ziploc bag. Let it rest overnight. Let it thaw for ten minutes next day then using your palms spread it out. Use the rolling pin to roll into a circle. Cut the triangles. Put it on a baking sheet and back in fridge for ten minutes. Then bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes at 180 degrees. Melt Nutella in microwave then using a spoon decorate the scones. Have them warm. I used only half the dough rest is in the fridge that I will use to make chocolate chip scones.

Sometimes I swear I dream only of chocolate for days. Does that happen to you also? Now this is a new experiment but it came out unexpectedly good. Hahaha yep we can all suprise ourselves sometimes. The recipe for this Brownie Chocolate Icecream sandwich is down. For this you will need a brownie base. You can check out my Nutella one bowl brownie recipe in the previous post. It's super easy to bake. You will need to make the brownie ahead. It goes as the base for this sandwich. For the no churn icecream you will need :
🌻 Milkmaid: 400 gms
🌻 Cream Cheese: 180 gms
🌻 Compound chocolate: 200 gms + for topping 200 gms. I used Morde. It comes in a 400 gm pack. Use half and half. 🌻Agar Agar powder: 1.5 tbsp plus 4 tbsp water.
🌻Dark chocolate : 100 gms plus 2 tbsp milk.
Take a 6 inch removable bottom pan and line the base of the pan over the Brownie and cut it using a knife. Place it at the bottom. Next use an electric hand mixer to mix milkmaid with Cream Cheese. Melt the compound chocolate using a double boiler method. Let it come down to room temperature. Mix into the milkmaid mix. Let the Agar Agar powder soak in the water for 5 minutes then bring it to a boil. Put it in the milkmaid mix and using a spatula fold in. Pour the icecream over the Brownie and let it set for 2 hrs. Take it out of the freezer. Remove the side of the pan. Use the rest of the compound chocolate over it. Since it's cold the chocolate will set fast. Use a hot knife to cut into triangles. Melt the dark chocolate in a bowl mixed with milk. Now pour over the dark chocolate drizzle. And your icecream sandwich is ready. Cut through the triangles fast otherwise the chocolate will set and it's not going to look so neat.
