Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of strawberry cake mix (or homemade strawberry cake)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips (or pink chocolate, for extra strawberry flair)
- Optional: Sprinkles or crushed freeze-dried strawberries for coating
Instructions
- Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the strawberry cake mix according to the instructions on the box. Bake it in a greased 9×13 inch pan for about 25-30 minutes. Allow the cake to cool completely.
- Make the Cake Truffle Mixture: Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl. Add cream cheese and powdered sugar. Mix together until well combined. The mixture should be thick enough to form balls but still moist.
- Form the Truffles: Roll the cake mixture into small, bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Coat the Truffles: Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth. Dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. Place the dipped truffles back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Let Set: Allow the truffles to cool and the chocolate to harden. If desired, sprinkle the truffles with sprinkles or crushed freeze-dried strawberries for extra decoration.
- Enjoy!: Serve your strawberry cake truffles at room temperature, and enjoy a burst of strawberry flavor in every bite!
Notes
- If you prefer a darker chocolate coating, you can use milk or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate.
- You can store these truffles in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- These truffles also make a great gift if placed in a cute jar or box.
