Bite-sized treats combining red velvet cake and creamy cheesecake filling, perfect for parties, holidays, or a sweet indulgence anytime. Optional white chocolate coating and sprinkles make them festive and fun.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 box red velvet cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 8 oz white chocolate or almond bark (optional, for coating)
  • Sprinkles or crushed cookies (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Chill the mixture for 30 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, eggs, and melted butter until a thick dough forms.
  4. Scoop out a small amount of dough and flatten it in your hand. Place a small spoonful of chilled cheesecake filling in the center.
  5. Wrap the dough around the filling and roll it into a smooth ball. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  6. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes until just set.
  7. Let the bites cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Optional: Dip the cooled bites in melted white chocolate or almond bark and decorate with sprinkles or crushed cookies.

Notes

  • Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized bites.
  • Chill the cheesecake mixture for easier handling.
  • Ensure dough fully seals the filling to avoid leaks.
  • Skip the chocolate dip for a quicker or lighter option.
  • Store chilled and serve at room temperature or cold.
