Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 box strawberry cake mix (homemade or store-bought)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 8 oz white chocolate or candy melts, for coating
  • Optional: 1/4 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bake Your Strawberry Cake
    Prepare your strawberry cake according to package directions or your favorite recipe. Bake fully and allow to cool completely.
  2. Step 2: Crumble the Cake
    Once cooled, crumble the cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a food processor to form the base of the truffles.
  3. Step 3: Mix in Cream Cheese and Butter
    Combine the cake crumbs with softened cream cheese and butter until the mixture has a dough-like consistency that holds together well.
  4. Step 4: Form the Truffles
    Roll the mixture into small, even balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm.
  5. Step 5: Dip in Melted Chocolate
    Melt the white chocolate or candy melts until smooth. Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each chilled ball completely and place back on the tray.
  6. Step 6: Garnish and Set
    While the coating is still wet, sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried strawberries or other desired garnishes. Refrigerate again until the coating is fully hardened.

Notes

  • Chill the truffle mixture thoroughly before dipping to ensure smooth coatings and prevent melting.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate or candy melts for the best flavor and texture.
  • Avoid moisture during preparation and storage to keep the coating crisp and prevent sogginess.
  • Handle the mixture gently while forming balls to maintain texture and avoid compressing too tightly.
  • Work quickly when dipping to maintain chocolate temperature and achieve a smooth, evenly coated finish.
