Litlar kökukúlur

Small cake balls - cake pops in Icelandic

The cute little “cake pops” that you can find everywhere these days can of course also be found in Iceland! Here in a - what else could it possibly be?!? - Version with Skúffukaka .


Ingredients

400 g Skúffukaka without icing
120 g cream cheese
100 g couverture
food coloring
decoration (sugar pearls, etc.)


Preparation

Cut off the edges of the skúffukaka, otherwise they will be too hard, and crumble the remaining cake thoroughly. Then mix the breadcrumbs with the fish cheese...

...and shape into 16 "cake balls" that are as equal in size as possible. It's best to put the balls in the freezer for a short time.

Melt the couverture, mix with the food coloring if desired, dip the cake pop sticks briefly into the chocolate, stick them into the cooled balls...

...and briefly dip each Kökukúlur into the melted, if desired colored, chocolate coating until it is completely covered with chocolate, decorate directly with the garnish and let it dry in a stand or something similar.
