Ingredients
Scale
Red Velvet Cake Ball Mixture
- 1 cup red velvet cake mix
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a spoon or your hands to thoroughly mix until the mixture becomes smooth and evenly blended, forming a dough-like consistency.
- Form Balls: Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls using your hands. Aim for uniform sizes to help ensure even chilling and coating.
- Chill: Place the cake balls on a tray or plate and refrigerate them for 30 minutes. This step firms them up, making the next step easier.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each, or melt them gently using a double boiler over simmering water until smooth.
- Coat Cake Balls: Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully covered. Place the coated balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Set Chocolate: Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm, about 15-20 minutes. Once set, the cake balls are ready to serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking when chocolate coating sets.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with white chocolate or colored candy melts to customize appearance and flavor.
- Store cake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Bring the cake balls to room temperature before serving for best texture and flavor.
