Step-by-Step Instructions for Red Velvet Truffles
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the red velvet cake mix according to package instructions.
  2. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. Crumble the cooled cake into small pieces using your hands or a fork until a fine consistency is achieved.
  4. Add 10 oz of softened cream cheese to the crumbled cake and mix until a cohesive dough forms.
  5. Scoop approximately two tablespoons of the mixture and roll into smooth balls, then chill in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
  6. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  7. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Let the coated truffles sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes to harden.
