Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 1 cup strawberry cake crumbs
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
Coating
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Decoration
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Mix Cake Crumbs and Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine 1 cup of strawberry cake crumbs with 1/2 cup of cream cheese until the mixture is uniform and moldable.
- Form Truffle Balls: Using your hands or a small scoop, shape the mixture into small balls. Place each ball evenly spaced on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the Balls: Refrigerate the baking sheet with the truffle balls for 30 minutes to firm them up for easier coating.
- Melt White Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of white chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and heat in short intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Dip Truffles in Chocolate: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted white chocolate until fully covered. Shake off excess coating and return the truffle to the baking sheet.
- Add Sprinkles: Before the chocolate sets, generously sprinkle each coated truffle with decorations to add color and texture.
- Final Refrigeration: Place the decorated truffles back into the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to harden completely before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh or leftover strawberry cake crumbs for best flavor.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for smooth mixing.
- Chilling the truffles before and after dipping helps maintain shape and a smooth coating.
- Substitute white chocolate with dark or milk chocolate if preferred.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
