Make these simple, no-bake Red Velvet Cake Balls for a quick, crowd-pleasing treat. We combine cake crumbs with cream cheese frosting, then dip them in melted white chocolate. This recipe is perfect for holidays or parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15.25 oz) box red velvet cake mix (prepared according to package directions and cooled)
  • 1 cup cream cheese frosting (store-bought or homemade)
  • 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers

Instructions

  1. Crumble the cooled red velvet cake completely into fine crumbs in a large bowl.
  2. Add the cream cheese frosting to the cake crumbs. Mix with a fork or your hands until fully combined and the mixture holds together when squeezed.
  3. Roll the mixture into small, uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Freeze the cake balls for at least 30 minutes until firm.
  5. Melt the white chocolate wafers according to package directions (usually in a double boiler or microwave in short intervals).
  6. Dip each frozen cake ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate.
  7. Return the coated cake balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature or chill briefly until firm.

Notes

  • For an extra festive look, you can drizzle the set white chocolate with melted dark chocolate or sprinkles before it hardens.
  • Ensure the cake is completely cool before crumbling; warm cake will melt the frosting.
  • If the mixture is too soft to roll, chill it for an additional 15 minutes.
  • These store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
