- 1/2 cup cream cheese frosting (store-bought or homemade)
For the Coating:
- 12 oz white chocolate or candy melts
- Optional toppings: sprinkles, freeze-dried strawberry powder, or crushed nuts
Instructions
- Bake the Cake:
- Prepare the strawberry cake mix according to the package instructions. Bake and let it cool completely.
- Crumble the Cake:
- Once cooled, crumble the cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl.
- Make the Truffle Mixture:
- Add the cream cheese frosting to the crumbled cake. Mix until the texture resembles a dough.
- Form the Truffles:
- Roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth.
- Dip the Truffles:
- Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled cake ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place them back on the parchment paper.
- Add sprinkles or other toppings before the chocolate sets.
- Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the truffles for 1 hour to allow the coating to harden. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
