Easy homemade red velvet truffles made with red velvet cake crumbs, cream cheese, and dipped in white chocolate for a festive treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the red velvet cake mix according to package instructions using water, oil, and eggs. Bake in a 9×13 inch pan for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely, then crumble it into fine crumbs in a large bowl.
- Add softened cream cheese to the cake crumbs and mix until well combined. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, coating evenly, and place back on the parchment paper. Add sprinkles immediately.
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to set the chocolate. Serve chilled.
Notes
These truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For a richer flavor, use high-quality white chocolate.
