Calories 188kcal
Equipment
- 12 lollipop sticks
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups chopped leftover pumpkin pie, including crust about ¼ of a 9-inch pie
- 1 cup finely crushed graham crackers
- ¼ cup vanilla frosting, recipe follows or use store bought
- 12 ounces white candy coating we used almond bark
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
For the frosting
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 teaspoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- First make your frosting. If you're using store bought, you can skip this step. For homemade frosting, you can make a small batch by mixing ¼ cup of softened butter and 1 cup of powder sugar until smooth. Stir in 1-2 teaspoons of milk if too thick. Stir in vanilla. Then measure out ¼ cup of frosting for this recipe.
- In a large bowl stir together pie, graham crackers, and frosting until well combined. Shape mixture into 1 ¼-inch balls. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet or tray. Freeze 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt coating in microwave for 1 ½ to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir in pumpkin pie spice. Dip a lollipop stick into the melted coating about 1 inch, then press a pie ball onto the stick, being careful not to insert stick too far. Dip ball into coating again, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Return to baking sheet. If you like, sprinkle with additional graham cracker crumbs. Repeat with remaining balls and melted coating. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes. If desired, use the extra candy melts and add some cinnamon to make it darker in color. Then drizzle over cake pops. Store in refrigerator up to 3 days.
Notes
You can make your own Pumpkin Pie Spice. In a small bowl, place 3 tablespoons cinnamon, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 ½ teaspoons ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon ground cloves and 1 teaspoon allspice. Whisk it all together. Store in an airtight container or jar.
