Servings 24 truffles

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box red velvet cake mix plus eggs and milk — grammage according to the instructions on the package
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese frosting store-bought or homemade
  • 300 g 10 oz white chocolate or white candy melts (for coating)
  • Red candy melts or colored white chocolate for drizzle
  • Heart sprinkles optional, for decoration

Instructions
 

  • Prepare and bake the red velvet cake according to package instructions. Let it cool completely.
  • Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large bowl using your hands or a fork until finely crumbled.
  • Add cream cheese frosting and mix until the texture is like soft dough. You should be able to press it into a ball easily.
  • Scoop and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 20–30 minutes to firm up.
  • Melt white chocolate or candy melts in the microwave, stirring every 20–30 seconds until smooth. Dip each truffle into the melted coating, then place on the tray to set.
  • Melt red candy melts and drizzle over the top using a piping bag or spoon. Add heart sprinkles while the coating is still wet.
  • Let set completely in the fridge (about 20 minutes), then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
