    Lemon Cream Cake Pops Low Carb-

    Lemon Cream Cake Pops Low Carb are a yummy, sweet citrus treat that is gluten-free, low carb and paleo.

    Lemon Cream Cake Pops -Low Carb & PaleoPin

    Lemon cake is my favorite, and this Lemon Cream Cake Pop Low Carb is the best lemon cake and lemon cheesecake in a ball, and coated with a delightful sweet lemon glaze.

    My 50th birthday week is here, and that required me to come up with a treat that would make me insanely happy.

    So I needed to put my favorite things into a special treat that was fun for the kids and me to make.

    If you have kids or grandkids, then oh boy, they will have a ball destroying the cake and making it into crumbs to use in forming the cake balls. It was sort of fun baking a cake and then destroying it.

    After making the lemon cake crumbs, you would then add lemon cream to them and mix until a dough forms.

    The dough was very easy to form into balls with your hands. Then, they are put on a stick and dipped into the glaze.

    These turned out fantastic, and made my birthday extra special!

    Lemon Cream Cake Pops Low Carb-

    Ingredients:

    • ½ cup coconut flour
    • ½ cup  granular sweetener of choice: Swerve for low carb, or  can use coconut sugar for paleo
    • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder, this one is corn free
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 tablespoon lemon zest, I use a microplane or fine grater
    • 3 eggs, beaten
    • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk, or coconut milk
    • 2 ½ tablespoon butter, melted
    • 2 tablespoon lemon juice, I use this lemon squeezer
    • 5 ounces cream cheese, softened, or for paleo use  ½ cup cashew butter, melted
    • 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice: Swerve for low carb or coconut sugar for paleo
    • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon lemon extract

    Lemon Glaze Ingredients:

    • 3 ½ tablespoon butter
    • 2 tablespoon heavy cream, or coconut cream
    • 2 ½ tablespoon powdered sweetener of choice: Swerve confectioners for low carb, or use ground coconut sugar for paleo (grind in a magic bullet blender or coffee grinder).
    • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
    • 18 cake pop sticks

     Cake pop sticks, where to get them, but other non-sharp sticks (popsicle ones, etc.) will work as well.

    Directions:

    1. Preheat oven to 350 F (176 C), and grease or oil an 8x8 baking pan.
    2. In a large mixing bowl combine: ½ cup coconut flour, ½ cup sweetener of choice, 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 tablespoon lemon zest. Mix together. Set aside.
    3. In a larger mixing bowl combine: 3 beaten eggs, ¼ cup almond milk, 2 ½ tablespoon melted butter, and 2 tablespoon lemon juice. Mix together thoroughly.
    4. Add dry coconut flour mixture to wet egg mixture and mix until combined.
    5. Spread cake batter into prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out of center clean.
    6. Remove cake from oven and let cool until pan is not hot.
    7. Crumble all of the cake with your hands into crumbs (kids love this part).
    8. In a medium-size bowl combine: 5 ounces of softened cream cheese (can warm cream cheese in the microwave for few seconds), or melted cashew cream for paleo (can melt in a sauce or microwave), 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice,1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon lemon extract. Mix together.
    9. Add the cream mixture to the pan of cake crumbs and mix together until it becomes a  dough texture.
    10. Form into balls with your hands and set aside.
    11. In a small saucepan on medium heat, melt  3 ½ tablespoon butter. Add 2 tablespoon heavy cream or coconut cream,1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon extract, and 2 ½  powdered sweeteners of choice. Stir until dissolved and combined. Remove from heat. Let cool a minute or two.
    12. Poke sticks into the cake balls, and dip and roll in the lemon glaze.
    13. Once all cake pops are glazed they can be refrigerated until glaze becomes firm (only takes a few minutes). Store extra cake pops in a container in the fridge.

      Hello, These look delicious! Do you think it would work to use coconut oil in place of butter for the cake and the glaze to make this dairy free or perhaps you have another suggestion? Thank you.

        Yes, or you can use palm shortening for the glaze as well to make dairy free.

      Looks so good! Does the glaze firm up enough for these to be wrapped? Or placed in a cellophane bag? Without becoming a gooey mess? Thanks!

        Hi Michelle, the icing gets solid but stays soft not hard. It would probably stick to any tight wrappers.
