Servings: 42 truffles
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 (13 oz) box red velvet cake mix baked according to box instructions
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese softened
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare your cake according to package instructions, then cut any hard edges off the cake and discard (or save for snacking).
- Break up the remaining cake with a fork or your hands, and reserve ½ cup of cake crumbs for later on.
- Add the remaining cake crumbs into a mixing bowl along with the softened cream cheese. Using an electric mixer, mix until the cream cheese is fully incorporated.
- Roll into 42 cake balls (about 1 heaping tablespoon per ball) and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, then transfer to the fridge or freezer to chill for 30 minutes.
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- Working one by one, coat each cake ball in the melted chocolate. Using a fork, take each ball out of the bowl, shake off any excess chocolate, then return to the lined baking sheet and immediately sprinkle each one with the reserved cake crumbs.
- Let the chocolate firm up before serving. To speed this up, place the truffles in the fridge for 30 minutes or in the freezer for 15.
