Ingredients
For the dough:
- 100 g soft butter
- 2 tbsp baking cocoa
- 100 g blueberry jam
- 400g chocolate cake
For the Yoda Cake Pops:
- edible sugar eyes
- 200 g white couverture
- green food coloring, powder form
- 10g coconut fat
- green fondant
- 100 g green fondant
For the Death Star Cake Pops:
- gray fondant
- black food coloring, powder form
- 10g coconut fat
- 200 g white couverture
In addition:
- approx. 20 lollipop sticks
- 1 styrofoam block
Procedure
- First, use your fingers to crumble the cake into very small pieces. Then put the butter, jam, and cocoa powder in a bowl with the cake crumbs and mix well with your hands. Then form about 20 balls, wrap a plate with cling film, place the balls on top, cover with film, and chill in the fridge for an hour.
- In the meantime, you can form little ears for the Yoda cake pops out of the green fondant mass.
- Then chop the chocolate and melt it together with the coconut oil in a metal bowl over a hot water bath. Sprinkle in the green food coloring for the Yoda cake pops and mix well. Use the black food coloring for the Death Star cake pops.
- Now take the dough balls out of the fridge and first dip a lollipop stick into the chocolate 1 cm deep and then put it in a dough ball. Put the cake pops in the styrofoam block and let the chocolate dry.
- When all the sticks have a ball, dip the balls one by one into the chocolate, let them drain briefly, and put them back into the polystyrene block to dry.
- You can now plug in your ears and eyes for the Yoda cake pops.
- For the Death Star cake pop, poke a hole in the finished cake pop with a toothpick until you can see the dark interior. Now you can paint the typical Death Star pattern with the fondant.
