Ingredients
- 1 box red velvet cake mix (and ingredients to make the cake)
- 1 can (450g) prepared cream cheese frosting OR homemade cream cheese frosting
- 1 pound (454g) candy coating, white or dark chocolate
- Optional: Sprinkles or small candies to decorate
Instructions
- Bake the red velvet cake mix following the package instructions for a 9×13-inch cake pan.
- Once the cake is baked, let it cool down completely.
- Break the cake into a large bowl, crumbling it into fine pieces with your hands.
- Optionally, set aside a few spoonfuls of crumbs for garnishing the truffles later.
- Add three-quarters of the frosting to the bowl and mix thoroughly with a rubber spatula.
- The mixture should be moist enough to hold together when pressed into a ball, but not overly wet or oily.
- If the mix seems too dry, incorporate additional frosting to achieve the right consistency.
- Use a small cookie or candy scoop to portion out small amounts of the cake mixture, then roll them into balls with your hands.
- Arrange the cake balls on a foil-lined baking sheet and place them in the fridge to chill while you prepare the candy coating.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the candy coating by microwaving and stirring every 45 seconds to avoid burning.
- Dip each cake ball into the melted candy coating using dipping tools or a fork.
- Slide the bottom of the dipped ball against the bowl’s edge to remove any excess coating.
- Put the coated truffle back onto the foil-lined sheet.
- While the coating is still wet, sprinkle it with cake crumbs, small candies, or decorative toppings if desired. Repeat for all cake balls.
- Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to allow the coating to fully set.
- These truffles are best enjoyed at room temperature and can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
Notes
- Consider using homemade cream cheese frosting for a more decadent flavor.
- Experiment with various candy coatings like white or dark chocolate to personalize the truffles.
- Get creative with decorations using sprinkles, crushed candies, or other toppings for a visually appealing touch.
