BLACK AND WHITE KEY LIME CAKE POPS

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-12-by-2-inch cake pan with parchment, then grease and flour.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix the gelatin, granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the orange juice, vegetable oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla and eggs. Mix well until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
• For the frosting: Beat the butter and cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth, then beat in the lime juice. Beat in the confectioners' sugar until the mixture is smooth and easy to spread.
• To form the cake pops: Break up the cake into small pieces and place in a bowl. Add the frosting and mix very well with your hands to completely distribute the frosting. Line 2 small baking pans with parchment. Roll the cake mixture into about 46 tight balls, a little smaller than Ping-Pong balls, arranging them on the prepared baking pans. Freeze the balls on the pans until firm, about 30 minutes.
• For the coating: Put about 1/4 cup of the candy melting wafers in a small-microwave safe bowl and melt according to package directions. Dip the tip of 6-inch treat sticks in the melted candy and then insert one into each cake ball. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Melt the rest of the candy melting wafers in a large bowl. Dip the balls in the candy to coat completely, letting the excess drip off; stick the pops into two 12-by-6-inch Styrofoam block. Freeze or refrigerate the pops until set.
• Put the chocolate and coconut oil in a wide, shallow microwave-safe bowl and microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted. Dip one side of the cake balls into the chocolate so that they are half white and half black. Return to the Styrofoam blocks and freeze or refrigerate until set.

CHOCOLATE DIPPED KEY LIME PIE POPS

Steps:

• Carefully remove the pie from the aluminum tin and place it on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Lay another piece of parchment paper over the pie; place your hand on top of the pie to stabilize it.
• Insert 10 wooden pop sticks into the side of the pie @ equal intervals, sticking them thru the crust and about 2" into the filling. If the crust starts to crack, pierce it first with a knife before inserting the sticks.
• Cut the pie into 10 wedges, with a stick in the middle of each wedge. Return to the freezer until rock hard, about 1 hour.
• Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. If you don't have a double boiler use the following method. Set a heatproof bowl on top of a deep saucepan of water & bring to boil (do not let the bowl touch the water). Once the water boils, turn off the heat and add two thirds of the chocolate to the bowl. Stir constantly with a rubber spatula until the chocolate is melted.
• Transfer the melted chocolate to a quart-size container and add the remaining chopped chocolate. Puree with an immersion blender until smooth & shiny about 5 to 7 minutes. If you don't have an immersion blender you can stir vigorously with a whisk.
• Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty foil (shiny side up) or plastic wrap. Working quickly, hold a wedge of pie by the stick and dip it in the chocolate. Let the excess drip off then lay the pie pop on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining wedges.
• Freeze pops at least 15 minutes.

APPLE PIE POPS

Steps:

• For the pie crust: Pulse the flour, shortening, sugar, vinegar and salt in a food processor until it looks like fine meal. Add the butter and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Sprinkle in 1/4 cup ice water and pulse until the dough begins to come together. Pinch the dough with your fingers; if it doesn't hold together, add up to 4 more tablespoons ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing and checking the dough after each addition. Divide the dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pat each into a disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
• For the apple pie filling: Peel and core the apples; slice 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the sugar and lemon juice.
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apple mixture and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up with a wooden spoon, until very soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the flour, cinnamon and salt and cook, stirring, until the juices thicken, about 2 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Position 2 oven racks in the top and bottom third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Put the sugar in a shallow bowl and set aside.
• To assemble: Roll out 1 disk of dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thick. Cut into about 20 rounds with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, keeping the dough and rounds cool and rerolling scraps once if neccessary. Repeat with the second disk, for a total of about 40 dough rounds.
• Divide half of the dough rounds (about 20) between the baking sheets, leaving 1 inch of space around each. Dip the top 1 inch of a wooden ice-pop stick in the beaten egg and lay it on one of the rounds, positioning the tip in the center of the round. Repeat with the remaining sticks and dough rounds on the baking sheets. Dollop a generous teaspoonful of the cold apple filling in the center of each round, covering the tip of each stick. Brush the edges of the rounds with the beaten egg using a pastry brush. Put the remaining dough rounds over the rounds with the filling. Press the edges together gently to seal. Use a fork to crimp the rounds closed completely, making pops. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg and dust each pop with a generous pinch of sugar. Using a paring knife, make 5 small slits around the centers of each pop (they'll look like apple seeds).
• Bake, reversing the baking sheets top to bottom halfway through, until the dough is golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes. Let the pops cool on the baking sheets until cool enough to touch, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve the pops warm or at room temperature.
