Description
Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake Balls are a festive delight perfect for holiday gatherings, blending delicious vanilla cake with cream cheese and white chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 Little Debbie vanilla Christmas tree snack cakes, unwrapped (from 2 – 8.62 oz. boxes)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 20 ounces white chocolate melting wafers, Ghirardelli brand used
- 6 ounces red vanilla flavored melting candy wafers, Wilton brand used
- 1 tablespoon green sanding sugar sprinkles
Instructions
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed with a handheld mixer for 1-2 minutes until fluffy and smooth.
- Break the Little Debbie vanilla Christmas tree Snack Cakes into smaller pieces and add to the bowl of beaten cream cheese. Mix on low speed until fully combined.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out a tablespoon-sized portion of the mixture and roll it into a smooth ball in your hands.
- Place the cake ball onto one of the prepared baking sheets and repeat until all cake balls are formed.
- Freeze the cake balls for 30-45 minutes, until completely solid.
- Melt the white chocolate wafers in a medium bowl according to package directions until smooth.
- Melt the red vanilla flavored candy wafers in a separate small bowl and stir until smooth. Transfer the melted red wafers to a small piping bag.
- Coat each cake ball in the melted white chocolate, using a fork to lift them out and tapping off excess chocolate.
- Place the coated cake balls on the second prepared baking sheet. Pipe a decorative zig-zag pattern with the melted red candy and sprinkle with green sanding sugar.
- Let the cake balls set for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate coating is firm before serving.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Using a cookie scoop helps to form uniform cake balls.
- Freezing the cake balls makes coating easier and less messy.
- Experiment with different colored sprinkles for variety.
