Ingredients
Servings 10- biscuit - 1 pc. (500-600 g)
- mascarpone cheese - 500 g
- dark chocolate - 250 g
- cream 33% - 120 ml
- different confectionery dressing - optional
Cooking
Step 1
Pre-bake a biscuit according to your favorite recipe. You can add food coloring of any color to the biscuit, you can bake chocolate, but this is not necessary.
Step 2
Using a blender, crumble the biscuit into small crumbs. Add mascarpone cheese and stir until smooth. It turns out the mass, like plasticine.
Step 3
From this cheese-biscuit mass, form balls the size of a walnut, put on a board and put in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Step 4
While the dough is cooling, melt the chocolate in a water bath and pour into a small mug. Prepare sticks for cake pops. Get the chilled balls and insert a stick into each, first dipping it in hot chocolate. Put the cake pops back on the board and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
Step 5
Prepare frosting for the cake pops. Here are two options: First: if you want to cover the cakes with hard crunchy chocolate, then the icing is only dark chocolate melted in a water bath. Second: if you want to cover the cakes with a softer and thinner glaze, then you need to add hot heavy cream to the chocolate and mix well until smooth. In advance, you need to prepare a thick piece of foam or some kind of stand into which you can stick sticks with glazed cake pops and so that this design fits in the refrigerator. Remove the prepared cakes from the refrigerator and dip them one by one into the hot icing. Gently shake off excess glaze and immediately sprinkle with any confectionery toppings. Kids can do it! Insert all the cake pops into the prepared stand and put in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
