Main Ingredients
- 1 box (about 15.25 oz) cake mix (any flavor)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz chocolate coating or melting chocolate (white, milk, or dark chocolate)
- Prepare the Cake Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and softened cream cheese until fully blended into a thick, dough-like consistency.
- Form the Truffles: Use your hands or a small cookie scoop to roll the mixture into uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Chill the Truffles: Place the rolled balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate coating in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Dip the Truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate to coat completely. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Set the Coating: Place dipped truffles back onto parchment and refrigerate until the chocolate is hardened, about 30 minutes.
Notes
- Use any cake mix flavor to customize your truffles, such as vanilla, chocolate, or funfetti.
- For easier dipping, ensure truffles are well-chilled to prevent melting.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- If chocolate coating hardens during dipping, gently re-melt to maintain smooth texture.
- Optional: decorate with sprinkles or drizzle a contrasting chocolate flavor before the coating sets.
