Description
Red Velvet Cake Balls are bite-sized treats made from crumbled red velvet cake mixed with cream cheese frosting, rolled into balls, and dipped in a creamy white chocolate coating. These festive little sweets are perfect for parties, holidays, or edible gifts.
Ingredients
- 1 box red velvet cake mix (or homemade red velvet cake)
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup cream cheese frosting
- 12 oz white chocolate or candy melts
- 1 tsp vegetable oil or shortening (optional, for melting chocolate)
- Red velvet crumbs or decorative sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Bake the red velvet cake according to package or recipe instructions. Let it cool completely.
- Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl until fine and even.
- Mix in the cream cheese frosting a little at a time until the mixture holds together like dough.
- Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill in the refrigerator or freezer for 30–45 minutes.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. Stir in oil if needed for smoother texture.
- Dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place back on the parchment paper.
- While coating is still wet, sprinkle with cake crumbs or decorations.
- Allow to set completely before serving or storing.
