Step-by-Step Instructions for Carrot Cake Pops
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine grated carrots, all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and spices in a mixing bowl. Add applesauce or pineapple, pour into a greased cake pan, and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Make the cream cheese frosting by beating together softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Optionally, add vanilla extract and adjust texture. Set aside.
- Crumble the cooled carrot cake into a bowl, gradually mix in the cream cheese frosting until the mixture resembles soft dough.
- Roll the cake mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. If too thick, add neutral oil.
- Dip the tip of each lollipop stick in melted chocolate and insert it halfway into each cake ball. Chill for 10 minutes.
- Dip each cake ball into melted white chocolate, allow excess to drip off, and place back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Decorate while the coating is still soft and set completely at room temperature or chill for 15 minutes.

Notes
Chill the formed cake balls before dipping for a clean finish. Adjust frosting to avoid sogginess; personalize flavors as desired.
