    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 & Paleo

    Lemon cake is my favorite cake, and these Lemon Cream Cake Pops Low Carb are the best of 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 grand-kids, then oh boy will they 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 a 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 wonderful, 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 tsp baking powder, this one is corn free
    • ½ tsp baking soda
    • 1 tbsp lemon zest, I use a microplane or fine grater
    • 3 eggs, beaten
    • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk, or coconut milk
    • 2 ½ tbsp butter, melted
    • 2 tbsp lemon juice, I use this lemon squeezer
    • 5 ounces cream cheese, softened, or for paleo use  ½ cup cashew butter, melted
    • 1 tbsp sweetener of choice: Swerve for low carb or coconut sugar for paleo
    • 1 tsp lemon juice
    • 1 tsp lemon extract

    Lemon Glaze Ingredients:

    • 3 ½ tbsp butter
    • 2 tbsp heavy cream, or coconut cream
    • 2 ½ tbsp 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 tsp lemon juice
    • 1 tsp 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 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, 1 tbsp lemon zest. Mix together. Set aside.
    3. In a larger mixing bowl combine: 3 beaten eggs, ¼ cup almond milk, 2 ½ tbsp melted butter, and 2 tbsp 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 tbsp sweetener of choice,1 tsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp 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 tbsp butter. Add 2 tbsp heavy cream or coconut cream,1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp 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.
