Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 15.25 oz box red velvet cake mix (plus ingredients required on the box)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 16 oz white chocolate or almond bark
  • Sprinkles or decorative toppings (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake: Begin by baking the red velvet cake according to the package instructions. Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely.
  2. Create the Cake Mixture: Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs, mix with the softened cream cheese until smooth and combined.
  3. Shape the Truffles: Roll heaping tablespoons of the mixture into uniform balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for about 30 minutes until firm.
  4. Melt the White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate or almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
  5. Coat the Truffles: Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate using a fork, tapping off excess before returning to the lined sheet.
  6. Decorate and Set: Add sprinkles or toppings while the chocolate is still wet and refrigerate for about 15 minutes until set.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, serve the truffles or store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is completely cooled before mixing with cream cheese to prevent melting.
  • You can customize the decorative toppings to suit your occasion.
  • Experiment with different types of chocolate for the coating.
