Mickey and Minnie Cake Pops Recipe

What Equipment Do You Need to Make Cake Pops?

Chances are you already have everything you need to make Cake Pops. A food Processor makes things easy, as you’ll need to crush all the Oreos, and mix them with the cream cheese. However, you can also easily crush the Oreos, by just putting them a baggy and smashing them. Other things you’ll need for these treats are sticks, wax paper, and if you’re making Minnie, a Bow mold. 

• Food processor
• Wax Paper
• Cake Pop Sticks
• Minnie Bow mold(find one similar to what we used here)

How to Make Cake Pops

Okay, now that you know all the details of what you need to make cake pops, lets dive in.

1. Chop the Oreos

Add 1 package of Oreos to a Food Processor and “puree” or “chop”. You want a “dirt” consistency for your Oreos, so it’s okay if they’re really finely ground. 

2. Add the Cream Cheese

It’s the cream cheese that really holds the whole cake pop together, so you’re going to want to make sure you have a good one. You can use either full or low fat, dairy or non dairy. We like to go with whatever we find at Aldi’s, but if you have a favorite cream cheese, use it! Add the Cream Cheese to the Food Processor and mix. This mixture should hold together, once everything is fully incorporated. 

3. Roll in to Balls and Pop into the Freezer

Once the mixture is ready, you can use a tablespoon, to get the balls the same size. Simply, scoop out the cake pop mixture and form into a ball in your hands. Once formed, place a piece a wax paper on a cookie sheet. Then, set the cake pop balls on the wax paper so they don’t stick to anything and place them in the freezer, while you go onto the next step. 

4. Melt the Chocolate

For this next step you can use dark or white chocolate, depending on how you’re making your Mickeys. For our springtime Minnie we used white chocolate but you can just as easily make these Mickeys by using brown chocolate and red melts for the shorts. 

After melting the chocolate, get out your mini marshmallows and pull the cake pop balls from the freezer. Next you’ll want to dip the marshmallows, into the white chocolate and adhere two each to each ball, to make the Mickey ears. 

5. Dip the Mickey Cake Pops

Once your marshmallows are attached to the cake pop ball, add the cake pop stick. Be sure that the melted chocolate is still melted, before dipping. It should be a very smooth, runny consistency. You can dip and/or spoon the white chocolate onto the cake pop to completely cover the Mickey head. Do this for each cake pop one at a time. 

6. Add the sprinkles

Immediately after dipping the cake pop in the white chocolate dip it into the sprinkles. We used colored pastels for our springtime look. But, again, you can choose whichever sprinkles strikes your fancy, or party color scheme.  

7. Add a Chocolate Minnie Bow

If you’re sweetening things up with Minnie Mouse, she’ll need a bow. Simply add some food coloring to your white chocolate melts, to get your desired bow color. We chose pink! Now, keep in mind that the bows will need to be completely solid before you remove them from the mold. So, pop them in the freezer, if you’re on a time crunch. Once you’re ready, you can adhere your bow to the cakepop with melted chocolate. And you’re done!

Instructions

1. Put Oreos in food processor and grind until oreos are coarse crumbs
2. Add Cream Cheese, mix until blended. Tip: Sometimes this is easier to mix with your hands
3. Roll into 1 inch balls and let set on wax paper.
4. Using a double boiler or microwave, melt white chocolate.
5. Set a few tablespoons of your melted chocolate aside. This will be for your bow. Using a few drops of food coloring of your choice, mix in white chocolate. Pour white chocolate into mold and let set in freezer while you are finishing up the truffles.
6. Attach mini marshmallows to side of truffle using melted chocolate, with the round end facing forward. Place stick through the top of truffle, just between the ears. Allow to set; may need to be placed in freezer for a few minutes for a firm set.
7. Coat truffles in white chocolate, by dipping truffle into chocolate and using a spoon to completely coat the truffle. Take off the excess chocolate using spoon and allow truffle to set for 1-2 minutes on wax paper.
8. After the white chocolate has started to dry, but is still wet, cover bottom half of truffle with sprinkles of choice. You can either dip these in sprinkles or sprinkle them on while turning them.
9. Once the truffle is dry, use a bit more melted white chocolate to attach your bow. The easiest way we found to do this was to put chocolate in the corners of the back of the bow, press down firmly into the ears and let set for a few minutes in the fridge.
10. Eat them! and Enjoy!
