Dreamy Cake Pops with Cream Cheese

Instructions:

1. Place cooled cake into a mixing bowl and break it down by hand or pulse in a food processor until it resembles fine sand.
2. Drizzle 2 tbsp (15g) melted unsalted butter over the crumbs and toss lightly to distribute.
3. In a separate bowl, beat 4 oz (115g) softened cream cheese and 2 tbsp (30g) softened butter together until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
4. Gradually add 1 cup (120g) sifted powdered sugar and 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract, mixing on low speed until smooth and glossy.
5. Fold the cake crumbs into the cream cheese mixture and stir until the dough is uniform and feels like soft play-dough.
6. Use a cookie scoop to create uniform balls and roll them between your palms until perfectly spherical and smooth.
7. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 60 minutes.
8. Heat 12 oz (340g) white chocolate and 1 tbsp (15g) coconut oil in 30-second bursts in the microwave, stirring in between until completely fluid.
9. Dip the tip of a lollipop stick about 1/4 inch into the melted chocolate, then insert it halfway into a chilled cake ball to anchor it.
10. Submerge the entire ball into the chocolate, lift it straight up, gently tap your wrist to let excess chocolate drip off, and set on parchment paper to harden.
