Usually cakesicles are made with cake and icing. I did not have icing at home, so made some chocolate ganache and mixed with cake to form cake dough.
Ingredients :
Any cake - home baked or Store bought
White chocolate wafer / white chocolate chips / candy melts
Chocolate ganache (melt 1/4 cup chocolate and 3 tbsp cream)
Candy decorations / sprinkles
Special Gadgets needs :
Cakesicle mould
Popsicle sticks
Procedure :
1. Use a any cake either homemade or store bought cake. Crumble the cake without big chunks2. Prepare a ganache but melting chocolate chips and heavy cream
3. Put the ganache over the crumbled cake and start mixing it until it forms a dough like texture
4. Melt your Chocolate or Candy Melts
5. Add about a spoonful of melted chocolate into the mold. You can use a spoon, small offset spatula, a pastry brush to coat the mold. Make sure to get the sides of the mold and coat completely to create a chocolate shell.
6. Insert the popsicle stick. Refrigerate atlest for 15 mins
7. Remove from refrigerator and paying extra care not to break your chocolate, press your cake filling into the cavities of the mold. Leave a thin gap for final chocolate coating. Refrigerate for 10 mins
8. Remove from refrigerator and cover the top of the mold with additional chocolate. Refrigerate for 10 mins until the chocolate sets.
Carefully loosen one of the corners of your mold and then peel the mold from the top to remove the entire cakesicle. Carefully push the sticks out of the mold.
9. If any extra chocolate is on the outer rim of your cakesicle, use a paring knife to carefully trim the chocolate off.
10. Decorate cakesicle as needed. I have used homemade Mother’s Day theme candy melts decorations, edible luster dust and a drizzle of candy melts
