Description
Deliciously easy Strawberry Shortcake Truffles Treats that combine the flavors of strawberry cake and cream cheese, coated in colorful candy melts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box extra moist strawberry cake mix
- 227 grams cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 260 grams light pink candy melts
- 90 grams white candy melts
- Crumbled shortcake, for topping
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, blend strawberry cake mix, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract. Mix for 2–3 minutes until fully incorporated and mixture is bright pink.
- Using a 2.5 cm cookie scoop, portion out mixture and roll into smooth balls between your palms. Arrange all formed balls on the prepared baking sheet.
- Refrigerate truffle centres for 60 minutes to firm.
- Five minutes before the chilling ends, add pink candy melts to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power for 1 minute, stir, then continue in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted.
- Using two forks or dipping tools, immerse each chilled truffle in the melted pink candy, coating completely. Remove excess coating, transfer truffles back to the parchment-lined sheet.
- Return coated truffles to the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes to set.
- Place white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Repeat the melting process from the previous step until the mixture is silky smooth.
- Transfer melted white candy to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Drizzle over each truffle, then immediately top with crumbled shortcake before the drizzle sets.
- Refrigerate finished truffles for an additional 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Ensure that cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing.
- Adjust melting times based on microwave wattage.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
