Print Recipe

Rich red velvet flavor paired with a creamy center and decadent chocolate coating, these truffles are perfect for any occasion and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 red velvet cake (baked and cooled, from scratch or boxed mix)
  • 4 oz (115 g) softened cream cheese, more if needed
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • Optional: semisweet chocolate for darker coating
  • Optional: sprinkles, crushed nuts, or contrasting chocolate drizzle

Instructions

  1. Bake the red velvet cake according to your recipe or boxed mix instructions. Allow it to cool completely.
  2. Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add softened cream cheese to the cake crumbs and mix thoroughly until the mixture holds together when pressed. Add more cream cheese if needed.
  4. Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or freeze for 30 minutes.
  5. Melt the white chocolate chips and/or semisweet chocolate using a double boiler or microwave. Stir until smooth. Add 1–2 teaspoons of coconut oil if the chocolate is too thick.
  6. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, ensuring it is fully coated. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Sprinkle your chosen toppings over the truffles while the chocolate is still wet.
  8. Refrigerate the coated truffles for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate sets completely. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

[‘Chill the filling before coating to make it easier to work with.’, ‘Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.’, “Thin melted chocolate with coconut oil or vegetable shortening if it’s too thick.”, ‘Experiment with toppings like crushed candies, shredded coconut, or edible glitter.’, ‘Leftover melted chocolate can be drizzled over finished truffles for decoration.’]
