Ingredients
Scale
Cake and Filling
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- Ingredients called for on cake mix box (water, oil, eggs)
- 10 oz cream cheese, softened
Coating and Decoration
- 12 oz almond bark or white chocolate candy melts
- Festive sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake: Follow the instructions on the red velvet cake mix box to prepare the batter using water, oil, and eggs. Pour the batter into a 9×13 inch pan and bake as directed. Allow the cake to cool completely before proceeding.
- Form the Truffle Dough: Remove and discard the crisp outer edges of the cooled cake. Crumble the remaining cake into a large mixing bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly (using your hands is easiest) until a uniform dough forms.
- Shape the Truffles: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the cake mixture per truffle and form into balls. Place the balls onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes or until the truffles are firm enough to dip.
- Melt the Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the almond bark or white chocolate candy melts by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until fully melted and smooth.
- Dip the Truffles: Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess coating to drip off. Return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, drizzle with additional white chocolate and decorate with festive sprinkles or extra cake crumbs.
- Set the Coating: Place the coated truffles back into the freezer for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to set firmly or leave them at room temperature until hardened.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is completely cool before mixing with cream cheese to prevent melting.
- Freezing the truffles before dipping helps them hold their shape and makes coating easier.
- You can customize the decoration with different sprinkles or drizzle colors according to the occasion.
- Store finished truffles in the refrigerator to keep the cream cheese filling fresh.
