Red Velvet Cake Balls with Cream Cheese Filling
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 12-ounce package white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
- Red food coloring (optional)
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the red velvet cake mix according to the package instructions. Allow the cake to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Crumble the cooled red velvet cake into the cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up the cake balls.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted. Add a few drops of red food coloring to achieve a deeper red color, if desired.
- Using a fork or toothpick, dip each cake ball into the melted white chocolate, tapping off any excess, and place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. If using sprinkles, sprinkle them on top of the cake balls before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate the cake balls for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Serve and enjoy!
