Make these simple, bite-sized red velvet cake balls using cake mix and cream cheese frosting, then coat them in smooth white chocolate for an easy party dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box red velvet cake mix
  • 1 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the red velvet cake according to the package directions, substituting the water, oil, and eggs listed on the box with the amounts listed here. Bake the cake in a 9×13 inch pan. Let the cake cool completely.
  2. Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl, removing any hard edges.
  3. Add the softened cream cheese to the crumbled cake. Mix them together until fully combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
  4. Roll the mixture into small, one-inch balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Chill the cake balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
  6. Melt the white chocolate wafers according to package directions. You can use a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, stirring often.
  7. Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate.
  8. Return the coated cake balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  9. If desired, drizzle with dark chocolate or add red sprinkles while the white chocolate is still wet.
  10. Refrigerate the red velvet cake balls until the chocolate coating is set.

Notes

  • For a shortcut, you can use a store-bought, unfrosted red velvet cake instead of baking from a mix.
  • If the mixture seems too soft after mixing with the cream cheese, chill it for another 15 minutes before rolling.
  • These cream cheese frosting truffles freeze well. Store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months.
