The Story & Intro
The first time I made Red Velvet White Chocolate Drizzle Pops, my kitchen turned into a joyful disaster red crumbs everywhere, melted chocolate on the counter, and my niece laughing as she “taste-tested” every single drizzle. It reminded me so much of growing up in Crete, standing beside my grandmother as she cooked with love, patience, and a little bit of beautiful mess. Even though Red Velvet White Chocolate Drizzle Pops are not a traditional Greek recipe, the feeling behind them is the same sharing sweetness with people you love.
I adore making Red Velvet White Chocolate Drizzle Pops for holidays, birthdays, or just one of those long afternoons when you need something cheerful. That deep red color, the creamy cake center, and the glossy white chocolate drizzle always feel like a little celebration on a stick. These Red Velvet White Chocolate Drizzle Pops are playful, eye-catching, and surprisingly easy to make, even if your kitchen gets messy like mine often does.
Cooking doesn’t have to be perfect it just needs heart. And these pops? They’re full of it.

Ingredients for Red Velvet White Chocolate Drizzle Pops
Here’s everything you’ll need to make these dreamy little treats:
For the red velvet base:
- 1 box red velvet cake mix (plus ingredients listed on box)
- OR your favorite homemade red velvet cake recipe
For the filling:
- ¾ cup cream cheese frosting (store-bought or homemade)
For coating:
- 12 oz white chocolate or white candy melts
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (for smoother melting)
For the drizzle:
- Additional 4–6 oz white chocolate, melted separately
- Optional: red sugar sprinkles, gold dust, crushed cookies, or festive toppings
Tools:
- Lollipop sticks
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Microwave-safe bowls
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Bake the Red Velvet Cake
Prepare the red velvet cake according to package directions. Bake it in a 9×13-inch pan and let it cool completely. This part is important—warm cake will melt your frosting instead of forming smooth dough.
Step 2: Crumble the Cake
Once cooled, crumble the cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a fork. I always let the kids help with this part it’s messy but fun.
Step 3: Mix in the Frosting
Add the cream cheese frosting gradually and mix until the texture feels like soft cookie dough. It should be moist enough to roll without cracking but not sticky.
Step 4: Shape the Pops
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray. You should get about 28–32 cake balls.
Step 5: Chill
Refrigerate the cake balls for at least 2 hours or freeze for 30 minutes. This step keeps them firm during dipping.
Step 6: Insert the Sticks
Melt a small amount of white chocolate. Dip one end of each lollipop stick into the chocolate, then insert it halfway into each chilled ball. Let them set for 10 minutes.
Step 7: Dip in White Chocolate
Melt the remaining white chocolate with the coconut oil in 30-second intervals until smooth. Dip each cake pop, gently tapping off excess.
Step 8: Add the White Chocolate Drizzle
Once the coating sets slightly, drizzle melted white chocolate across the tops using a spoon or piping bag.
Step 9: Decorate
Add sprinkles or decorative toppings while the drizzle is still wet.
Step 10: Set Completely
Allow all pops to set fully at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
