Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Biscuit

Start by beating the eggs with the sugar and a pinch of salt until the mixture is fluffy and light in color.

Next, in a saucepan, bring the milk and butter to a boil. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, and then carefully pour in the hot milk mixture. Stir until well combined.

Transfer the batter into a prepared baking pan and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) until a toothpick comes out clean.

Once baked, let the biscuit cool for a couple of hours.

Step 2

Make the Ganache

To prepare the ganache, melt the milk chocolate in a double boiler. Be sure to monitor the temperature carefully.

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just below boiling.

Combine the melted chocolate with the hot cream and stir until you achieve a smooth consistency. Cover the ganache with plastic wrap and let it cool completely.

Step 3

Combine Ingredients for Cake Pops

Once the biscuit is cool, crumble it into small pieces using a blender.

Mix the crumbled biscuit with the ganache and softened butter until well combined.

Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 to 50 minutes, then form small balls (about 50 grams or 1.75 ounces each) with your hands.

Return the formed balls to the fridge for another 30 minutes.

Step 4

Coat Your Cake Pops

Dip the ends of cake pop sticks into melted chocolate and insert them into the chilled cake balls to help them hold.

Next, carefully dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, making sure they are well covered. For a smoother coating, you can add a bit of vegetable oil to the chocolate.

Place them in the fridge for about 10 minutes to set.

Step 5

Decorate and Enjoy

Once the chocolate coating has set, feel free to decorate your cake pops as desired. Get creative with sprinkles or other toppings for visual appeal!

Enjoy your delicious cake pops, perfect for any celebration or as a sweet treat!
