Of all the mouth-watering Christmas desserts we dream about for the 364 days leading up to Dec. 25, fruit cake is not high on the list. Often hard as a hockey puck, fruit cake gets a bad reputation around the holidays.

But there are other more delicious ways to enjoy the flavors of fruit cake without lugging out the flour and sugar. Inspired by Brit+Co's tasty-looking bourbon fruit cake pops, we decided to try our hand at our own version of fruit cake ice cream pops.

Picture vanilla ice cream, flavored with tart dried fruits, coconut flakes, nutty pecans and wintery spices, and dipped in sweet dulce de leche. These cool pops are the perfect complement to hot mulled cider on a chilly evening.

Try them for yourself — you won't be disappointed.
