# What You Need:
→ Base Mixture
01 -
8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
02 -
1 baked vanilla cake, standard size (using prepared cake mix, cooled, edges trimmed if desired)
→ Coating and Decoration
03 -
12 ounces almond bark or white chocolate candy melts
04 -
Festive sprinkles, for garnish (optional)
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven and prepare vanilla cake according to package instructions. Pour batter into a 9×13-inch baking pan and bake as directed. Once baked, allow cake to cool completely. Optionally, trim off crispy edges for a smoother texture.
02 -
Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl. Add softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly by hand until a smooth, dough-like consistency forms.
03 -
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per portion, shape into smooth, uniform balls and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
04 -
Place shaped cake balls in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm before coating.
05 -
Melt almond bark or white chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals, stirring between each burst until smooth and fully melted.
06 -
Dip each chilled cake ball in the melted chocolate, using a fork to lift and tap off excess coating. Place coated truffles back onto parchment paper. Before the coating sets, sprinkle with festive decorations as desired.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For best results, ensure cake is fully cooled before crumbling to avoid excess moisture in the filling.
