Chocolate Peanut Butter Ganache Cakesicles
- Prep: 1 hr
- Bake: 0
- Total: 1 hr
- Yield: 8 cakesicles
Ingredients
Peanut Butter Ganache
- about 7 TB (60g) peanut butter, any kind
- about 3 TB (30g) of chocolate, any kind, finely chopped
- 1 TB + 1 tsp (25g) heavy cream
- Add you peanut butter, chocolate, and heavy cream to a microwave safe bowl.
- Microwave on 50% power for about 30-60s until cream is slightly warmed and peanut butter is very soft.
- Stir until all the chocolate is completely melted. (You can reheat for 15 seconds more if chocolate pieces won't melt.)
- Set aside to cool completely.
Chocolate Cakesicle Mix
- peanut butter ganache, from above
- about 300g of cake scraps, or about the equivalent of 8-10 regular sized cupcakes
- Gently crumble your cake into a large mixing bowl.
- Add you ganache, and using a spatula or your hand, gently toss the cake crumbs into the ganache. You'll know it's good to go when it's easily formed into a ball and is very, very moist.
Cakesicle Assembly
- Cake mix, from above
- about 1-2 ounces of melted and cooled chocolate
- at least 200g of coating chocolate, such as Mercken's
- paramount crystals or coconut oil for thinning
- sprinkles, for decorating
- Press your cake mix into the molds following the technique shown in the video above, making sure you cement your sticks in the cakesicles using the melted and cooled chocolate.
- In a microwave safe bowl, add your compound chocolates. Melt on 30 second bursts, stirring between each heating step.
- When the chocolates are all melted, start by adding 1 tsp of the paramount crystals to thin the chocolate until it reaches a smooth and thinner consistency. For 200 grams of Mercken's Dark Coating Chocolate, I had to add about 2.5 tsp of crystals.
- Dip your cakesicles one by one, allowing them to set on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Decorate as desired.
