Red Velvet Truffles are rich, creamy, and bite-sized treats with classic red velvet flavor—slightly chocolatey, subtly tangy, and coated in smooth melted chocolate. Perfect for holidays, gifting, or elegant no-bake desserts.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups red velvet cake crumbs (homemade or store-bought)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz white chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate, melted
  • Optional: red food coloring
  • Optional: sprinkles, cocoa powder, or white chocolate drizzle for decorating

Instructions

  1. Crumble red velvet cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl.
  2. Mix in softened cream cheese and vanilla extract until a smooth, dough-like mixture forms.
  3. Chill the mixture for 20–30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
  4. Roll the mixture into small balls and place on a lined baking sheet.
  5. Chill the truffle balls for another 15 minutes to help them hold shape.
  6. Dip each truffle into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
  7. Return truffles to the baking sheet and decorate with sprinkles or drizzle if desired.
  8. Let truffles set completely in the fridge before serving.

Notes

  • Coat truffles in white chocolate for a classic look or dark chocolate for richer contrast.
  • Roll in cocoa powder for a traditional truffle finish.
  • Decorate with themed sprinkles for holidays or special occasions.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze in a single layer for longer storage.
