Ingredients
– 1 box of red velvet cake mix
– 1 cup cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups white chocolate chips (or coating of choice)
– Sprinkles or crushed nuts (for decoration, optional)
Instructions
Creating No Bake Red Velvet Cake Balls is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Cake Mix: In a large bowl, prepare the red velvet cake mix according to the package instructions, but do not bake it. Instead, add the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl.
2. Mix the Ingredients: Using your hands or a spatula, mix until fully combined. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.
3. Form the Cake Balls: Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Chill the Cake Balls: Once all the cake balls are formed, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This will help them firm up.
5. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
6. Coat the Cake Balls: Remove the chilled cake balls from the refrigerator. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out and allow excess chocolate to drip off.
7. Add Decorations: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle the cake balls with sprinkles or crushed nuts if desired.
8. Let Set: Place the coated cake balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and let them sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens.
These steps will guide you to create these incredible No Bake Red Velvet Cake Balls effortlessly.
