Ingredients
1 plain pound cake
4 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 c. confectioners’ sugar
18 popsicle sticks (see Note)
1/2 lb. white chocolate
Edible decorating pens
Preparation
Step 1Crumble the cake into a food processor. Add the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar, and pulse to combine. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and shape into 18 mounds. Gently press them into ghost shapes and ease each one onto a popsicle stick. Stand the pops upright in a large piece of Styrofoam.Step 2In a large microwave-safe bowl, heat the white chocolate at high power until three-quarters melted. Stir until completely melted and cooled to 88 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Working quickly, dip the cake pops into the white chocolate, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Stand the pops upright in the Styrofoam and let the chocolate set. Use the edible decorating pen to draw faces on the ghosts and serve. Looking for party-ready recipes?
