How to Prepare No-Bake Chocolate-Frosted Brownie Cake Pops [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

To Make the Brownies:

  1. Put all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. If you are using a food processor, use the full 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to make it more smooth. If you want the strawberry flavor, add the strawberries in this step.
  2. Shape into round balls and put in the refrigerator while you make the frosting.

To Make the Chocolate Frosting:

  1. In a narrow container, add all the ingredients and stir until smooth.

To Assemble:

  1. Prepare parchment paper on a plate or cookie sheet
  2. Put a stick in each of brownie balls and dip into the chocolate. Let the chocolate drip off before you set the cake pop down.
  3. Refrigerate for 3 minutes, or until the chocolate is tacky. Re-dip and repeat until desired frosting thickness.
  4. Take the cake pops out and roll in sprinkle toppings on each pop.
  5. Put back in the refrigerator and leave until you are ready to eat.
