Easter Egg Cake Pops
We are all ready for the Easter bunny in my home. We painted some eggs, we made cake balls, maybe we’ll even get to see the Easter bunny himself. More Easter dessert recipe ideas are Easter Egg Coconut Macaroon Nests, Carrot Cake and these adorable Coconut Cupcakes.
Why This Works
These cake balls were fun to make, and are made lighter than traditional cake balls. By cutting out butter and oil and using egg whites and non-fat Greek Yogurt, it’s much lighter. Because I use a cake pop pan, there’s also no need to mix the cake with frosting, which is time consuming and adds more calories. Instead, we dip and drizzle colored chocolate on them and play with a fun assortment of sprinkles to turn these cuties into Easter Eggs. These are the perfect Easter dessert idea to make with kids or if you just want to get creative for the holiday!
Fun Ways To Serve
Easter Basket: Place them in Easter Baskets with fake grass. Gift Idea: I packed some in small boxes to give away as Easter gifts too.
You can come up with countless ways to decorate cake balls for any holiday or occasion using the same basic recipe with this Nordic Ware Cake Pop Pan I purchased at Target. I highly recommend buying 2 pans if you plan on making these to speed this up. The candy melts were from Wilton, which I purchased at Michael’s.
Notes and Variations:
The size of box box cake mix keeps getting smaller thanks to inflation! When I first write this recipe it was a larger box, I have since scaled this down for a 15.5 ox box cake mix. If you wish to use the full-fat instructions on the back of the box, skip the yogurt, egg whites and water and follow the directions from the back of the box. Then pour into the cake pop pan and proceed as directed.
