It's the most wonderful time of the year! Yes, it's Christmas once again. A year ago, Pamps (my older sister) and I made sugar cookies as Christmas gifts to our close friends. Our first baking project (!!!) Sister, if you're reading this, say hello to New York for me and try not to freeze! ;) I miss you and mom. This year, I made Oreo pops. Original plan was to make Bakerella's famous Cake pops but no time to bake a cake from scratch. Thanks to Google! I found this no-bake recipe on the internet. I revised it a little bit though. :)
Oreo Pops
4 137g packs of Oreo
1 8 oz. pack of cream cheese
500g white chocolate chips
Food coloring (for decorating)
Lollipop sticks
Styrofoam block
1. Crush the oreos (with the filling) in the food processor until finely ground. I used a heavy duty bag, Ziploc, and rolling pin to crush the oreos.
2. In a large bowl, mix the oreo crumbs and cream cheese thoroughly. (I suggest you use your fingers to mix, but it will get messy.)
3. Roll mixture and form 1" balls and lay on a baking sheet.
4. Chill for about an hour.
5. Melt chocolate in microwave. (Don't leave your chocolate in the microwave for too long.)
6. Dip the lollipop stick about 1/2" into the chocolate and then stick it to the ball right away. Tap off the excess and use the styrofoam block to allow your oreo pops to dry.
Not really the design I had in mind. But not bad, right? I had a hard time dipping the balls in the chocolate. The lollipop sticks didn't stick to the balls. And uhh not the perfect Christmas colors. Oh well, next time!
Merry Christmas in advance!
