Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 6 –8 ice cream sandwiches any flavor—classic vanilla, mint chip, or cookies and cream work great
  • 1 cup crushed cake or brownie crumbs store-bought or leftovers—adds texture and richness
  • cups chocolate or candy melts white, milk, or dark chocolate, depending on your mood
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or coconut oil helps melt chocolate smoothly for coating
  • Sprinkles crushed nuts, or mini candies (optional—for decorating and added crunch)
  • Lollipop sticks or cake pop sticks

Optional Flavor Boosters

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract mix into the crumb layer for extra flavor
  • Mini chocolate chips or cookie bits fold into the cake pop mixture for added texture

Quick Tip

  • If you're short on time use pre-crumbled cake or a boxed brownie mix the day before. The goal is a soft but moldable filling that holds its shape when frozen and dipped.

Instructions
 

Soften and Crumble the Ice Cream Sandwiches

  • Take the ice cream sandwiches out of the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes—just enough to soften slightly.
  • Place the softened sandwiches in a large mixing bowl.
  • Use a spoon or your hands to mash and mix them into a soft, uniform mixture.
  • Add in the cake or brownie crumbs, stirring until fully combined and moldable.
  • The texture should be like cookie dough—firm enough to roll, but not too sticky.

Roll into Balls

  • Scoop the mixture into even portions using a cookie scoop or tablespoon.
  • Roll into balls about 1 to 1½ inches wide.
  • Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Insert a lollipop stick into the center of each ball.
  • Freeze the pops for 1 hour, or until completely firm. This step is key to making sure they don’t fall apart during dipping.

Melt and Prepare the Coating

  • While the pops are freezing, melt your chocolate or candy melts in a heatproof bowl.
  • Add a little heavy cream or coconut oil to help the chocolate stay smooth and glossy.
  • Stir until silky and pourable—perfect for coating.
  • 🫠 Use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Dip, Decorate, and Chill

  • Remove the frozen pops from the freezer and begin dipping:
  • Hold each pop by the stick and dip into the melted chocolate, gently twirling to coat evenly.
  • Tap off the excess and quickly add sprinkles, nuts, or other toppings before the coating sets.
  • Return pops to the parchment-lined sheet and place back in the freezer for 15–20 minutes to set.
