Eggnog Bourbon Cake Pops

Eggnog Bourbon Cake Pops

This one is for adults. Finally!!! A great cake pops recipe with your favorite liquor.  Feel free to add more of it into the frosting ;)
Note: For this recipe you can use bourbon or dark rum; we used Jim Beam.

Batter:

1. Mix together sugar and butter, then beat in eggs until blended.
2. Add to the mixture:  eggnog, bourbon, and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg.
4. Combine  number 1 and number 3 together.
5. Bake at 350 for 20-22 minutes.
6. Once ready and cooled down, crumble into the bowl.

Frosting:

1. Put flour in a pan, whisk in eggnog until blended and smooth.
2. Add egg yolk, whisking until combined.
3. Cook on the stove over medium-low heat,  stirring constantly, until thickened.  Remove from the heat occasionally to avoid lumps.
4. Remove from the stove, stir in butter, bourbon/rum, and vanilla.
5. Mix into the bowl with the crumbled cake.
6. Make small (1/2 inch diameter) balls, insert the sticks (we usually dip the sticks  into the chocolate before) into the cake balls. Place into refrigerator to chill for 30 min.
7. Melt chocolate and dip cake pops in it. Put back into refrigerator for 15-30 min
8. Decorate away.

Great as Christmas cake pops.

    I really want to make this recipe, but how much flour am I supposed to put in the pan for step 1 of the frosting? The recipe doesnt say…and also, when do I add the butter for the frosting?

      You will need 2 tbl spoons of flour. Once you take the thickened mixture off the stove, add butter, vanilla extract and bourbon/rum. Hope you’ll enjoy those cake pops. Let us know if you have other questions.

      You can just take it out of the recipe. No need to substitute it with something else.
