They make your cake pops taste like a slice of pumpkin pie. Now, for the filling and coating, you will need: - 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened - 1 cup powdered sugar - 1-2 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency) - 1 cup white chocolate chips - Assorted sprinkles or crushed graham crackers - Lollipop sticks The cream cheese filling adds a rich taste.

For the full recipe, check out the details to make these tasty treats! - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). - Grease or line a 9x13 inch baking pan. - Combine cake mix, pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, and spices. - Mix until smooth and well blended. - Pour batter into prepared pan. - Bake for 25-30 minutes. - Check with a toothpick; it should come out clean. - Cool the cake completely in the pan. Making pumpkin pie cake pops starts with a simple cake. You want to ensure that your oven is preheated to 350°F first. This step is key to getting that perfect bake. Greasing or lining your pan helps the cake pop out easily later. Next, blending the ingredients is important. You combine the yellow cake mix with the pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, and spices. I always mix until everything is smooth. If the batter is lumpy, it won’t bake well. After mixing, pour the batter into your prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes. I like to set a timer and check at 25 minutes. When a toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready. Let it cool completely before moving on. This cooling time is crucial for the next steps. You can find the full recipe at the end for all the details! To get the best texture in your cake pops, use room temperature ingredients. This helps them mix better and creates a smooth batter. Make sure the cake is fully cooled before you crumble it. If the cake is warm, it can make the mixture too wet. This can lead to messy pops that do not hold their shape. Melting white chocolate can be tricky. To avoid lumps, heat it slowly. You can use the microwave or a double boiler. If you choose the microwave, heat it in 30-second bursts. Stir after each burst. This prevents overheating. If you use a double boiler, keep the water simmering, but not boiling. Stir the chocolate until it is smooth and shiny. Make your cake pops look festive with fun toppings. You can use colorful sprinkles, crushed graham crackers, or even chopped nuts. For a more seasonal touch, try using small candy pumpkins or fall-themed sprinkles. Presentation can make a big difference. Display your cake pops in a cute fall container or a mini pumpkin. This adds charm to any event or gathering. {{image_4}} You can change the flavor of your cake pops easily. Instead of yellow cake mix, try chocolate or spice cake. Each option offers a unique taste. You can also add extracts for more flavor. A dash of vanilla or almond gives a nice twist. If you need gluten-free treats, look for gluten-free cake mixes. Many brands offer options that taste great. For dairy-free cake pops, swap cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative. Coconut cream or cashew cream works well. These changes keep the cake pops delicious for everyone. You can adapt these cake pops for any holiday. For Christmas, use red and green sprinkles. For Halloween, add orange and black toppings. Each season brings a chance to get creative with colors and flavors. Have fun with your decorations to match the theme! To keep your Pumpkin Pie Cake Pops fresh, store them in an airtight container. This helps prevent them from drying out. Place parchment paper between layers of cake pops if you stack them. This avoids sticking and makes for easy access. A simple plastic or glass container works well for storage. You can freeze cake pops for later use. First, let them cool completely after decorating. Then, arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze them for about two hours until solid. Once frozen, transfer the cake pops to a zip-top freezer bag. Be sure to remove as much air as possible. To thaw, place them in the fridge overnight. This keeps their texture from getting soggy. In the fridge, cake pops last about one week. If stored in the freezer, they can last for up to three months. The texture stays better when you freeze them. Always check for any signs of freezer burn before using. Enjoy these tasty treats at your next gathering! Yes, you can make pumpkin pie cake pops ahead of time! I suggest making them up to three days in advance. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge. This keeps them fresh and tasty. You can also freeze them for longer storage. Just wrap each one in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer bag. You can freeze them for up to two months. When ready to eat, let them thaw in the fridge overnight. Your cake pops are ready when they are firm to the touch. After chilling for 30 minutes, they should hold their shape well. If they feel too soft or mushy, give them more time in the fridge. When they are cool, the texture will help the coating stick better. This ensures a smooth dip without any melting. If you don't want to use white chocolate, try candy melts or dark chocolate. Candy melts come in many colors and flavors. They give your cake pops a fun look. Dark chocolate adds a rich, bold flavor that pairs well with pumpkin. Just melt them the same way as white chocolate. You can even use milk chocolate for a sweeter taste. To keep your cake pops from falling off the sticks, dip the stick in melted chocolate first. This helps the stick stick to the cake ball. Once you insert the stick, let it set for a minute before dipping the whole pop. Make sure your cake balls are firm and chilled. This gives them the support they need during coating and serving.

Ingredients
  

1 box yellow cake mix

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

3 large eggs

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1-2 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)

1 cup white chocolate chips (for coating)

Assorted colorful sprinkles or crushed graham crackers (for topping)

Lollipop sticks

Instructions
 

Vorbereiten & Vorheizen: Beginnen Sie damit, den Ofen auf 350°F (175°C) vorzuheizen. Fetten Sie eine 9x13 Zoll große Backform ein oder legen Sie sie mit Backpapier aus.

    Teig Mischen: In einer großen Rührschüssel die gelbe Kuchenmischung, das Kürbispüree, die Eier, das Pflanzenöl, die Zimt, Muskatnuss, Ingwer und Piment hinzufügen. Mischen Sie die Zutaten gründlich, bis die Mischung glatt und gut kombiniert ist.

      Kuchen Backen: Gießen Sie den Teig in die vorbereitete Backform. Backen Sie den Kuchen für 25-30 Minuten oder bis ein Zahnstocher in der Mitte sauber herauskommt. Lassen Sie den Kuchen völlig abkühlen.

        Kuchen Zerkleinern: Nach dem Abkühlen den Kuchen in einer großen Schüssel in feine Krümel zerbröseln.

          Füllung Zubereiten: In einer separaten Schüssel die weiche Frischkäse mit dem Puderzucker verrühren, bis die Mischung glatt ist. Fügen Sie diese Mischung nach und nach zu den Kuchenkrümeln hinzu, und kneten Sie alles mit den Händen, bis es zusammenhält und eine teigähnliche Konsistenz erreicht.

            Kugelformen: Nehmen Sie etwa einen Esslöffel der Kuchenmischung und rollen Sie ihn zu einer Kugel. Wiederholen Sie diesen Vorgang, bis die gesamte Mischung aufgebraucht ist. Sie sollten etwa 20-25 Kugeln haben.

              Kühlzeit: Legen Sie die Kugeln auf ein mit Backpapier ausgelegtes Backblech und kühlen Sie sie mindestens 30 Minuten lang, bis sie fest sind.

                Schokolade Schmelzen: Während die Cake Pops kühlen, die weißen Schokoladenstückchen in einer mikrowellenfesten Schüssel schmelzen. Erhitzen Sie sie in 30-Sekunden-Intervallen und rühren Sie zwischendurch um, bis die Schokolade glatt ist.

                  Dip & Stecken: Nehmen Sie jede Kuchenmaschine, tauchen Sie das Ende eines Lutschersticks in die geschmolzene Schokolade und stecken Sie dann den Stock in die Mitte der Kuchen-Kugel. Tauchen Sie anschließend die gesamte Kugel in die geschmolzene Schokolade, damit sie gut umhüllt ist.

                    Toppings Hinzufügen: Bevor die Schokolade aushärtet, streuen Sie bunte Streusel oder zerdrückte Graham-Cracker darüber, um den Look eines Kürbiskuchens zu imitieren.

                      Austrocknen und Servieren: Stellen Sie die beschichteten Cake Pops aufrecht in einen Block aus Styropor oder in einen dekorativen Behälter. Lassen Sie die Schokolade fest werden, bevor Sie sie servieren.

                        Vorbereitungszeit: 15 Minuten | Gesamtzeit: 1 Stunde 30 Minuten | Portionen: 20-25 Pops

                          - Präsentationstipps: Präsentieren Sie die Cake Pops in einem festlichen Herbst-Container oder verwenden Sie Mini-Kürbis-Halter für einen saisonalen Touch!
