Step-by-Step Instructions for Red Velvet Truffles
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the red velvet cake mix according to the package instructions, pouring the batter into a greased cake pan. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once the red velvet cake is completely cool, crumble it into a large mixing bowl. Add 8 ounces of cream cheese and mix until smooth, resembling cookie dough.
- Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, or use a double boiler. Ensure the chocolate is silky and fluid.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate until evenly coated. Shake off excess chocolate and return them to the baking sheet.
- While the coating is still soft, drizzle melted semi-sweet chocolate over the tops and add decorative items like crushed peppermint or sprinkles. Let the truffles sit until the chocolate coating has fully set.
- Once hardened, store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy within a week, or freeze uncoated truffles for longer storage.
