Red Velvet Truffles
Who's a fan of red velvet and truffles? I know I am!
These are a delicious treat for a party or a homemade gift for someone. They are quite simple to make and don't require a whole lot of ingredients.
INGREDIENTS:
-red velvet box cake mix (crumbled)
-2/3 cup cream cheese
-2 tbsp vanilla frosting
-2 cups white chocolate baking chips
-red sprinkles
METHOD:
Bake a red velvet cake. I did mine from the box and followed the recipe on that since it was easier for this specific recipe. After it's baked, allow to cool and then crumble cake into a large bowl. Add in the cream cheese and vanilla frosting. Mix until it is smooth. Put wax or parchment paper down on a cookie sheet and begin to roll the truffles into round balls, about an inch thick. Place them in your refrigerator for at least 1.5 hours that way they are pretty cold but not frozen. Take out and melt white chocolate. I usually add 1 tsp of coconut oil to the chocolate to give it a nice shine. (This is not mandatory if you don't have it on hand.) Dip the truffles fully into the chocolate once melted and take them out with a fork and place them onto your paper carefully. Add sprinkles to the tops. Place back in refrigerator for another hour and then enjoy!
