Ingredients
- 1 box of chocolate cake mix, plus ingredients required on the box
- 1 box of vanilla cake mix, plus ingredients required on the box
- 1 box of strawberry cake mix, plus ingredients required on the box
- 1 cup of chocolate frosting
- 1 cup of vanilla frosting
- 1 cup of strawberry frosting
- 3 cups of white chocolate chips or melting candy, divided
- Pink and brown food coloring
- Cake pop sticks
- Sprinkles for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry cakes according to the instructions on their respective boxes. Let them cool completely.
- Once cooled, crumble each cake into separate large bowls. Add 1 cup of corresponding frosting to each bowl and mix until the cake and frosting are well combined.
- Using a small scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into small golf-ball-sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and insert a cake pop stick into each ball. Freeze for about 1 hour, or until firm.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in three separate bowls. Add a few drops of pink food coloring to one bowl and brown food coloring to another bowl, leaving the third bowl white for vanilla.
- Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing it back on the parchment paper. Decorate with sprinkles if desired.
- Allow the chocolate coating to set completely before serving.
Helpful Tips
For a seamless experience, ensure your cake pops are thoroughly chilled before dipping. If the mixture is too crumbly, add a bit more frosting. You can also mix and match the cake and frosting flavors to create personalized variations.
Storage Instructions
Store your Neapolitan Cake Pops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them and thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Pairings
Neapolitan Cake Pops pair wonderfully with a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot chocolate. For a complementary dessert, serve alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a fresh fruit salad to balance the rich flavors.
