Ingredients
- 1 box red velvet cake mix baked as directed on the box. Only use have the baked cake.
- 6 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 14 oz white candy melts for dipping and drizzling
Instructions
- Bake the red velvet cake according to the directions on the box. Let it cool completely, then cut it in half. Use only half for this recipe.
- Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl. Scoop out 2 tablespoons of crumbs and set them aside for topping.
- Beat the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add the cake crumbs to the cream cheese mixture and mix until fully combined and the texture holds together easily.
- Chill the mixture for 30–45 minutes so it firms up for rolling.
- Scoop and roll into 1-inch truffle balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill again for 15–20 minutes to make dipping easier.
- Melt the 12 oz white candy melts until smooth.
- Dip each chilled truffle in the melted candy coating and place them back on the baking sheet.
- Melt the remaining 2 oz white candy melts and drizzle over the tops.
- Sprinkle the reserved red velvet crumbs on top before the drizzle sets.
- Refrigerate until fully set.
Notes
Use fully cooled cake: Warm cake will melt the cream cheese and make the mixture too soft to work with.
Chill before rolling: A short chill makes rolling easier and keeps the truffles uniform in size.
Dip in batches: Keep the truffles cold and only dip a few at a time so the coating sets cleanly.
Tap off excess coating: Lightly tap the truffle against the bowl to avoid thick pools of candy melts at the base.
Work on parchment: This makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking while the coating sets.
