Ingredients
Scale
Petit Fours
- 1 pound cake (store-bought or homemade), sliced
- 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
- For best results, use fresh pound cake to avoid dryness.
- You can substitute white chocolate with vanilla almond bark for easier melting and coating.
- Allow adequate time for the coatings to fully set before serving to prevent messiness.
- Store petit fours in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for longer freshness.
- Customize decorations to match the occasion or theme.
