Truffle Mixture
- 1 box (about 15.25 oz) cake mix (any flavor)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
Coating
- 12 oz chocolate coating or melting chocolate (milk, dark, or white chocolate)
- Prepare the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and softened cream cheese until fully incorporated and smooth. This mixture will be thick and moldable, forming the base of your truffles.
- Form the Truffles: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing them to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate: While the truffles chill, gently melt the chocolate coating using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to ensure smoothness and avoid burning.
- Dip the Truffles: Remove the chilled truffle balls from the refrigerator. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is completely coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the truffle back on the parchment paper.
- Set the Coating: Once all truffles are coated, return them to the refrigerator to set the chocolate coating fully, approximately 15-20 minutes. After setting, the truffles are ready to enjoy or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- You can customize the cake mix flavor to your preference for different truffle variations.
- If the mixture is too sticky to roll, chilling it longer will help.
- Use high-quality chocolate coating for the best texture and flavor.
- Store truffles in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
