Description
Rich, creamy red velvet truffles with a smooth chocolate coating, perfect for an elegant no-bake dessert or homemade gift.
Ingredients
- 3 cups red velvet cake crumbs (homemade or store-bought)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 oz white chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- Optional: red food coloring
- Optional: sprinkles, cocoa powder, or chocolate drizzle for decorating
Instructions
- Crumble the red velvet cake into fine crumbs and place them in a large bowl.
- Add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract and mix until a smooth, dough-like mixture forms.
- Refrigerate the mixture for 20–30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Roll the mixture into evenly sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the truffle balls for another 15 minutes to help them hold their shape.
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place the coated truffles back onto the baking sheet and decorate if desired.
- Refrigerate until the chocolate coating is fully set before serving.
Notes
- Use good-quality chocolate for the smoothest coating.
- Keep truffles chilled until serving due to the cream cheese.
- Dark, milk, or white chocolate all work well for coating.
- Perfect for holidays, gifting, and special occasions.
