The Story & Intro
There’s something magical about Red Velvet White Chocolate Drizzle Pops they’re whimsical, elegant, and just plain fun to eat. And every time I make them, I’m instantly transported back to a moment that still makes me smile.
I remember hosting my very first holiday party in the U.S. I’d just moved, and everything felt big, new, and uncertain. I wanted a dessert that felt cozy, familiar, and a little bit fancy. That’s when these red velvet pops made their grand debut. The room lit up with “ooohs” and “aaahs,” and before the night was over, people were asking for more. It was the moment I realized food truly connects people even when you’re far from home.
Bonjour my friends! 👋 I’m Lacamorea, a 31-year-old French girl who traded the cobblestone streets of Paris for the cozy kitchens of America 🇫🇷➡️🇺🇸. Ever since I could reach the countertop, I’ve been whisking, stirring, and sneaking tastes of cake batter when no one was looking 🍰😋. Cooking isn’t just my passion it’s my love language, my therapy, and my favorite way to make people smile.
So today, I’m inviting you into my warm little cooking world to try one of my most crowd-pleasing treats: Red Velvet White Chocolate Drizzle Pops. They’re adorable enough for parties, elegant enough for gifting, and easy enough for beginners. And don’t worry I’ll walk you through each step with all the messy-kitchen charm I grew up with.
By the time you finish this article, you’ll know exactly how to make these sweet little pops shine, how to decorate them beautifully, and how to serve them like a pro. And together, we’ll make a delicious memory or two. ❤️
⏱️ Time
- Prep: 25 minutes
- Chill: 1 hour
- Decorate: 20 minutes
- Total: ~1 hour 45 minutes
🛒 Ingredients
For the Cake Pops
- 1 box red velvet cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
- 1 cup cream cheese frosting (homemade or store-bought)
For the Coating
- 2 cups white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, helps smooth the chocolate)
For Decoration
- Red sprinkles
- Extra melted white chocolate for drizzling
- Lollipop sticks
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Bake the Cake
Prepare the red velvet cake according to the package directions. Bake until fluffy and beautifully red. Let it cool completely warm cake will melt the frosting and create a sticky mess (trust me, I’ve learned the hard way 😅).
2. Crumble the Cake
Once the cake is cool, crumble it into a large mixing bowl using your hands. We’re aiming for fine crumbs, like soft red sand.
3. Mix with Frosting
Add the cream cheese frosting and mix with a spatula or clean hands. The texture should be soft, moldable, and just sticky enough to hold its shape.
4. Shape the Pops
Roll the mixture into small balls about the size of a walnut. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Insert Sticks
Melt a tablespoon of white chocolate and dip each stick tip into it before inserting into a ball. This chocolate “glue” helps the stick stay in place.
Chill for 30 minutes.
6. Dip in Chocolate
Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals. Add coconut oil if you’d like a smoother dip.
Dip each pop straight down into the chocolate, then lift and gently tap off the excess.
7. Add the Drizzle
Melt extra white chocolate, place it in a piping bag or zip-top bag, snip a tiny corner, and drizzle over the pops. Add sprinkles while still wet.
8. Let Them Set
Stand them upright in a cake pop stand or styrofoam block until the chocolate hardens completely.
