Make these easy, no-bake red velvet cake balls using cake mix and cream cheese frosting, then coat them in smooth white chocolate. They are perfect for parties or any sweet craving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) red velvet cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 container (16 oz) cream cheese frosting
  • 24 oz white chocolate melting wafers
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother coating)
  • Red sprinkles (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the red velvet cake according to the package directions, substituting the required water, oil, and eggs. Bake the cake in a 9×13 inch pan.
  2. Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl. You can use your hands or a food processor for this step.
  4. Add the entire container of cream cheese frosting to the cake crumbs. Mix well until the mixture is fully combined and holds together when pressed.
  5. Roll the mixture into small, uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Chill the cake balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step helps them firm up before dipping.
  7. Melt the white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until smooth. If using, stir in the coconut oil for a thinner consistency.
  8. Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork or dipping tool to lift the ball out, tapping off any excess chocolate.
  9. Place the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined sheet. Immediately add red sprinkles, if desired, before the chocolate sets.
  10. Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature, or speed up the process by chilling them for 10-15 minutes.
  11. Serve these delicious red velvet truffles or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use a homemade red velvet cake recipe instead of a mix.
  • If you want a firmer ball, chill the mixture for an hour before rolling.
  • If the white chocolate seizes (becomes thick and grainy), add a teaspoon of vegetable shortening or coconut oil and stir vigorously to try and smooth it out.
