Delicious Red Velvet Cake Truffles

These red velvet balls are rich and moist, combining the classic flavors of red velvet cake with creamy frosting.

The recipe yields about 24 truffles, making it a great choice for parties or as a sweet gift.

Ingredients

• 1 box red velvet cake mix (plus eggs and milk according to package instructions)
• 1/2 cup cream cheese frosting (store-bought or homemade)
• 300 g (10 oz) white chocolate or white candy melts (for coating)
• Red candy melts or colored white chocolate (for drizzle)
• Heart sprinkles (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

1. Bake the Cake:

• Follow the instructions on the red velvet cake mix to prepare and bake the cake.
• Allow it to cool fully before moving to the next step.

2. Crumble the Cake:

• Once cooled, break the cake apart in a large bowl with your fingers or a fork until you have fine crumbs.

3. Mix with Frosting:

• Add cream cheese frosting to the crumbs and mix well until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency that holds together easily.

4. Form the Truffles:

• Scoop small portions (about 1 inch) and roll them into smooth balls.
• Arrange on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 20–30 minutes to firm up.

5. Melt the Chocolate, Dip and Decorate:

• Melt white chocolate or candy melts in the microwave in short intervals, stirring until smooth.
• Dip each ball into the melted coating and set them back on the tray to dry.
• Drizzle melted red candy melts over the coated truffles.
• Add sprinkles before the coating sets (optional).

6. Chill, serve, and store:

• Refrigerate for about 20 minutes until fully set.
• Serve and keep the remaining truffles (if any!) in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

I hope you enjoy the velvety truffles as much as we do!

• Tap off excess white chocolate after dipping to avoid messy puddles underneath.
