Description
Red Velvet Truffles are made with a cake mix and are coated in a creamy white chocolate shell. They are perfect for Valentine’s Day, Christmas, or any time.
Ingredients
- 1 Red velvet cake mix
- Cake mix ingredients (water, oil, eggs)
- 10 oz cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz almond bark OR white chocolate candy melts
- Festive sprinkles
Instructions
1. Prepare the red velvet cake following the box instructions. Bake in a 9×13 pan as per box instructions. Allow to cool completely before moving to the next step.
2. Remove the crisp outer edges of the cake and discard. In a large mixing bowl, crumble the rest of the cake into small pieces. Add the softened cream cheese and mix (easiest with hands) until a dough has formed.
3. Scoop the cake mixture into balls (about 2 Tablespoonfuls of cake mixture per ball) and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 30 minutes or until hardened.
4. Place the white chocolate in a bowl and heat, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
5. Dip each cake ball into the white chocolate and tap off any excess chocolate. Place back onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. If desired, garnish with white chocolate drizzle and festive sprinkles. You can also garnish with extra cake crumbs.
6. Place back into the freezer for a few minutes to allow the white chocolate to set or let harden at room temperature.
Notes
You can use either almond bark or white chocolate candy melts depending on your preference.
Make sure the cake is completely cool before mixing with cream cheese for best texture.
These truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Great for gifting or serving at parties and holidays.
