Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowls
  • 1 electric mixer or whisk
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 parchment paper
  • 1 small cookie scoop or teaspoon
  • 1 melting pot or microwave-safe bowl
  • 1 fork or dipping tool

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup red velvet cake mix
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • to taste red sprinkles for garnish, optional

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and dough-like.
  • Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, portion out the mixture and roll it into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place the rolled truffles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Once all the mixture is rolled into balls, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to help them firm up.
  • While the truffles are chilling, melt the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a melting pot or microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  • Remove the truffles from the refrigerator. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, making sure to coat them evenly. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
  • Place the dipped truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle red sprinkles on top before the chocolate sets.
  • Refrigerate the truffles for an additional 10 minutes to let the chocolate harden.
  • Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious red velvet truffles!
