Make simple, bite-sized red velvet cake balls using cake mix and cream cheese frosting, coated in smooth white chocolate. This no-bake recipe is perfect for parties and holidays.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box red velvet cake mix
  • Ingredients required by cake mix box (usually water, oil, eggs)
  • 1 container (16 oz) cream cheese frosting
  • 12 oz white chocolate melting wafers or chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening (optional, for thinning chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the red velvet cake according to the box directions, using the required water, oil, and eggs.
  2. Bake the cake completely. Let the cake cool fully on a wire rack.
  3. Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl. Discard any overly browned edges.
  4. Add the entire container of cream cheese frosting to the cake crumbs. Mix well until a uniform, thick dough forms.
  5. Roll the dough into uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Chill the cake balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
  7. Melt the white chocolate wafers according to package directions, adding shortening if needed to reach a smooth consistency for dipping.
  8. Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Tap off excess chocolate.
  9. Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined sheet.
  10. Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature or speed up the process in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use leftover red velvet cake instead of baking a fresh one.
  • If you want a thinner chocolate coating, add a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to the melted chocolate.
  • These cake balls freeze well for future serving. Store them in an airtight container.
