Tools you’ll need
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon I love this set from Amazon

- Baking tray
- Parchment paper
Ingredients (makes ~10–12 cake pops)
- 120 g cake or muffins for this recipe I used my Banana Chocolate Easter Muffins
- 100 g Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt)
- 80 g dark chocolate
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional)
Optional:
- sprinkles
- coconut flakes
- crushed nuts
Instructions
1. Prepare the base
Crumble the cake or muffins into a bowl until you get a fine texture.
Add the yogurt and mix until the mixture becomes soft, slightly sticky, and easy to shape.
The consistency should allow you to form balls without them falling apart.
2. Shape the cake pops
Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls using your hands.
Place them on a tray lined with baking paper.
Try to keep them uniform in size for a more aesthetic result.
3. Chill
Place the cake balls in the fridge or freezer for about 30 minutes.
This step helps them firm up before dipping in chocolate.
4. Melt the chocolate
Melt the dark chocolate with coconut oil until smooth and glossy.
5. Assemble the cake pops
Insert sticks into each ball.
Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate or coat using a spoon.
6. Decorate
Add toppings like sprinkles, coconut flakes, or crushed nuts while the chocolate is still soft.
7. Set and serve
Place them back on the tray and let the chocolate harden.
Serve once fully set.
Tips for the best result
- Don’t add too much yogurt or the mixture becomes too soft
- Chill well before dipping
- Use good quality chocolate for better coating
- Work quickly when decorating
Make it lighter (lower calorie swaps)
- use 0% Greek yogurt
- reduce chocolate coating or drizzle instead
- use lighter cake base
- skip toppings or use minimal
