It is here again, the monthly Daring Bakers recipe. Elle said that this month recipe was going to be good, so I was excited to find out what it was. When I found out it was cheesecake pops, I was thrilled.Last month's Perfect Party Cake was thrown out after a week because no one ate it. Not that they didn't like it, but chocolate always goes faster than cake in this house. So I decided to make half the recipe this month, but how do you half 5 eggs? So I used two. Plus, cheesecake doesn't come in 20 oz containers, so I settled for 16 oz. When I started mixing, I was a little scared. Did I have enough eggs in the batter? Was it going to rise? Was it going to taste like cheesecake?
Well, it rose, then fell. I cooled it and tried rolling into balls. It didn't go so well. A lot of the cake ended up on my hands. I froze them overnight. In the morning, I melted dark and milk chocolates and then rolled the little balls in chocalote, covering them with sprinkles. Oh and then I bit into one of them.
Oh it was heaven! Plus, no disasters again this month. Whew! I just don't know if I can share.

I'm assuming the pops didn't last long! They look delish!
They were so yummy, weren't they? Yours look great!
nice job!
Great job, they look delicous!! Love the colors and design of your site.
It was rather a messy recipe, but they wound up looking so very elegant!
And the best thing about these is that you dont have to throw them out. I treat myself to one a day in freezer.
Great job! They turned out awesome. Half the recipe was perfect to try my dipping patience on a busy day!!
Great Job on your pops! Halfing the recipe sounds like a challenge in of it's self. Glad it all worked out.
Great job! I agree, these were The Yum :)

A disaster free month is a good month! Glad it all worked out for you.
Isn't this cheesecake recipe wonderful! The flavor is so good that keeping your fingers from scraping the bowl clean at the end is next to impossible! Your cheesecake pops are adorable and cute sprinkles! =D

Haha.. true they were fingerlicking, indeed! I don't think I'll be eatting cheesecake again for a long, long time.
Nice job on yours too! Thanks for stopping by!
These were good. I particularly love the first pictures.
you know, I licked lots of the cheesecake batters off my fingers while rolling them. Great job on the challenge :D
Good on you for halving the recipe. I wanted to but knowing me, I'd probaby mess it up royally! hahaha. It looks lovely.
Such a beautiful photo of tasty looking pops. Mine are nearly all gone ;-P
Oh yours are adorable!
Looks like they are growing in a garden like flowers!
I should of at least halfed the recipe. I have plenty to share!
They really were delicious. We enjoyed them too. That was brilliant taking the photos outdoor. I'll have to remember that next time.
I ended up with tons of cake on my hands too, it was certainly messy. The end result looks great though!
Oooo, so pretty! And I so agree, these were heavenly to taste!
you did a great job on your pops! weren't they were yummy?

Gorgeous looking pops! Very well done!

Awww ... too bad you had a bit of a struggle with making the pops. But they seem to have turned out great :)
Congratulations!
I halved the recipe too...your pops look cute :-)
You Daring Bakers are a creative bunch! I love the looks of these little treats and your photos are absolutely beautiful. Gosh, I'm going to have to check out this DB thing as you all sure seem to be having a good time! I'd have to adapt the recipes to GF/DF, but that might be a fun challenge.

That's a lovely photo taken of the pops! Thank you for liking my sprinkles :)
Wow, your pops are gorgeous!! Bravo!
Love the sprinkles! So much fun!
They look great, and I'm glad they were more successful!
Yours are so perfect looking! Great idea about halving the recipe - there was A LOT of pops1

Yea, I tried rolling them as well. Didn't work so great!!!!!!! Congrats on another Challenge...
Yes, it was messy! My pops weren't exactly round, but they were tasty, so glad you liked it!
Thank you for the lovely comment on my site! Your pops look great! Yeah, they were a bit tricky to make. Great idea to use half a recipe. Also, I found that making balls would turn the whole thing into mess, so I just cut out rectangulars:)) Next time I'll use a square baking pan to make my life easier.
Nicely done! And what a gorgeous photo!
They look great! Glad you enjoyed them. :)
Cute pops.
I used spoons to form my balls and cut in to the cake to make other shapes. I know rolling those balls caused a sticky....yet yummy mess.
hurrah for no disasters!
your pops look very pretty in the sunshine. it was such a fun challenge, wasn't it?
Nice looking pops! This months challenge was a tasty one.
i ended up with tons of cheesecake on my hands too! what a waste! they look great though.
here's a tip: for half an egg - lightly beat one egg, then measure out 1 1/2 tablespoons.
oooh so beautiful and sparkly... I love it!
Great looking pops! I love the setting!
You did a lovely job on your pops! Simply beautiful.

From one fellow DB to another - your pops look great!

Great pops!! And yes..cheesecake..all over the hands..I have always worked in a kitchen, through pastry/culinary school..and I think I washed my hands more that day than any other ha-ha. You did a wonderful job!!
Your pops look fantastic. Halving the recipe went well for me, too.
Great job with this month's challenge.
