Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake Balls:

  • 1 box red velvet cake mix (plus ingredients needed to bake)
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For the Coating:

  • 12 oz white chocolate or candy melts (melted)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother coating)
  • Valentine’s Day sprinkles (for decoration)

Instructions

Step 1: Bake the Cake

  1. Prepare the red velvet cake according to package instructions.
  2. Let the cake cool completely, then crumble it into fine crumbs in a large bowl.

Step 2: Make the Cake Ball Mixture

  1. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Add the mixture to the crumbled cake and mix until a soft, dough-like consistency forms.

Step 3: Roll & Chill

  1. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes, or freeze for 15 minutes, until firm.

Step 4: Coat with Chocolate

  1. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  2. If needed, stir in 1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening for a smoother texture.
  3. Dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick, letting excess drip off.
  4. Place coated cake balls back on parchment paper and immediately add Valentine’s sprinkles before the chocolate sets.

Step 5: Chill & Serve

  1. Let the cake balls set at room temperature for 15 minutes, or refrigerate for 10 minutes until firm.
  2. Serve and enjoy these sweet, festive treats!

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Cake balls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Darker Chocolate Option: Swap white chocolate for milk or dark chocolate for a richer taste.
  • Extra Flavor: Add 1/2 tsp cinnamon or a splash of almond extract for a unique twist!
