Pumpkin cake bound by coconut condensed milk, chilled and then coated in a dairy free white chocolate. A little sprinkle of coconut and you have a bite, or maybe two, of glorious Autumnal pumpkin loveliness.
I actually made these have made a pumpkin muffin recipe a couple of times over which resulted in a heck of a lot of pumpkin muffins and with so I decided to put them to good use. I actually don’t think I’ve ever made proper cake pops before. I say proper because I have made no bake cake like pops things, but these were so much more straightforward to make and a whole different texture sensation.
The coconut condensed milk from Nature’s Charm is my go too when it comes to make super simple dairy free versions of “traditional” recipes. You could totally make these if you have other leftover muffins or cakes at hand. The condensed milk is the key ingredient. Sweet, sticky, and yet creamy all at the same.
