Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the red velvet cake mix according to package instructions. Allow the cake to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs.
- Add the softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the cake crumbs. Mix until well combined.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill the cake balls.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy to make the ganache.
- Remove the cake balls from the refrigerator. Using a spoon, drizzle the chocolate ganache over the cake balls.
- Place the cake balls back in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow the ganache to set.
- Serve and enjoy!
