Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) cake mix (any flavor)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz chocolate coating (such as melting chocolate, candy melts, or chocolate chips)
- Mix Cake Batter: In a large bowl, combine the entire box of cake mix with softened cream cheese. Use a mixer or spoon to blend until the mixture is smooth and forms a thick dough.
- Roll into Balls: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them between your hands to form smooth, round balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill: Refrigerate the rolled cake balls for at least 1 hour to firm up, making them easier to dip.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, gently melt the chocolate coating until smooth and fluid.
- Dip Truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled cake ball into the melted chocolate, fully coating it. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Set Truffles: Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, about 30 minutes.
Notes
- You can customize the cake mix flavor for different variations (chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, etc.).
- For a smoother coating, temper your chocolate or use candy melts designed for dipping.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Add sprinkles or crushed nuts on the chocolate before it sets for extra decoration and texture.
- If the mixture is too soft to roll, add a bit more cake mix or chill longer.
