Ingredients
  

  • For the Cake:
  • 1 box red velvet cake mix
  • Ingredients as listed on the cake mix box e.g., eggs, oil, water
  • For the Filling:
  • 1 cup cream cheese frosting
  • For the Coating:
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips or candy melts
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional, for smoother coating
  • For Garnish Optional:
  • Red velvet crumbs
  • Sprinkles or edible glitter

Instructions
 

  • Bake the red velvet cake according to the instructions on the box or recipe. Let it cool completely.
  • Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  • Mix the cake crumbs with cream cheese frosting until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency.
  • Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into small balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours.
  • Melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Add coconut oil for a thinner consistency if desired.
  • Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Use a fork to lift the truffle and tap off the excess coating.
  • Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and garnish with red velvet crumbs, sprinkles, or edible glitter before the chocolate sets.
  • Let the truffles set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the coating is firm.
  • Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
