Red Velvet Truffles

Red Velvet Truffles are the kind of treat that look like you spent hours making them, but they couldn’t be easier. With just a few ingredients and a quick chill in the fridge, you get a rich, chocolatey bite wrapped in creamy white chocolate. They’re festive, bite-sized, and perfect for holiday platters or party trays.

You’ll like these truffles if you’re into easy, make-ahead desserts that still feel special. They’ve got that classic red velvet flavor with a soft texture, a slight tang, and just the right amount of sweetness, all rolled into a smooth center and topped with a little sparkle. Plus, they hold up well in the fridge, so you can make them ahead for gatherings or gifts.

Helpful Tips

• Use less cream cheese if you want a firmer, more cake-like texture. Start with about 4 ounces and adjust if needed.
• Don’t skip the chill time. Chilling the rolled balls makes them easier to dip and helps the white chocolate set quickly.
• Work in batches. Keep half of the rolled balls in the fridge while dipping the others to keep them firm.

Instructions

 

• Bake the cake according to the package and let cool. Crumble the red velvet cake into a fine crumb. Fold in the cream cheese. Mix well.
• Roll 1″ balls of the red velvet mixture in the palms of your hands, until all mixture has been used. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. It’ll make around 35-40 balls. Set in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
• Melt the white chocolate. Remove the balls from the fridge. Using a fork, dip each truffle in the melted chocolate and place on parchment paper. Sprinkle with red decorating sugar. Put the truffles back in the fridge until the chocolate is set.
