Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box red velvet cake mix (or homemade red velvet cake recipe)
- Ingredients required for the cake mix (e.g., eggs, oil, water)
- 1 cup cream cheese frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- 12 oz white chocolate or white chocolate melting wafers
- Optional decorations: red or white sprinkles, chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare the red velvet cake according to the package or recipe instructions. Bake and allow the cake to cool completely.
- Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl, breaking it into fine crumbs.
- Add the cream cheese frosting to the cake crumbs and mix until fully combined, creating a dough-like consistency.
- Roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the cake balls in the refrigerator for 1 hour or in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
- Melt the white chocolate or wafers in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add sprinkles or drizzle with additional chocolate before the coating sets.
- Allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving. Store in the refrigerator for best results.
Notes
- For a homemade touch, use a red velvet cake recipe from scratch and freshly whipped cream cheese frosting.
- Add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to the white chocolate if it’s too thick for dipping.
- For a festive touch, use colored sprinkles or drizzle with contrasting chocolate.
- These cake balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
