Ingredients
Scale
Cake Ball Mixture
- 1 cup red velvet cake mix
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, uniform dough forms.
- Shape Cake Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter, ensuring they are compact and smooth.
- Chill the Balls: Place the cake balls on a plate or tray and refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to firm up, which helps in the coating process.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips by heating them in the microwave in short intervals or using a double boiler method until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip and Set: Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted chocolate, fully coating it, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or place them back in the refrigerator until firm before serving.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese to ensure the mixture combines smoothly.
- If the mixture is too sticky, chill it longer before rolling.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle some red velvet crumbs or decorative sprinkles on the chocolate before it sets.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with white chocolate or candy melts for variety.
- Store the cake balls in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for best freshness.
