Ingredients
Scale
Pound Cake
- 1 pound cake (store-bought or homemade), sliced
Coatings
- 1 jar vanilla frosting
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips or vanilla almond bark
Instructions
- Slice the Pound Cake: Cut the pound cake into small 1-inch squares to create bite-sized pieces perfect for petit fours.
- Heat the Vanilla Frosting: Place the vanilla frosting in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 15 to 20 seconds until it becomes pourable, making it easier to coat the cake pieces.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a separate bowl, gently melt the white chocolate chips or vanilla almond bark until smooth and creamy for dipping or drizzling.
- Coat the Cake Squares: Dip each pound cake square into the melted white chocolate or alternatively pour the warmed vanilla frosting over each piece to fully coat them.
- Set the Coated Cakes: Arrange the coated petit fours on parchment paper and allow them to set completely at room temperature until the coatings harden.
- Decorate (Optional): Once the coatings are set, optionally decorate the petit fours with colored icing, sprinkles, or edible decorations to add flair and color.
Notes
- Use store-bought pound cake for a quick and easy dessert.
- To speed up setting, you can refrigerate the coated petit fours for 15-20 minutes.
- Customize with different colored frostings or toppings according to your event.
- Handle dipped petit fours gently to avoid breaking the coating.
- Ensure white chocolate is melted slowly to prevent burning or seizing.
