Ingredients

• 1 package of red velvet cake mix
• 1 8 oz package of cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
• 1 tsp of vanilla extract
• 1 package of white chocolate chips
• 1 tbsp of vegetable oil
• Sprinkles for decoration (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Red Velvet Cake

Follow the instructions on the red velvet cake mix to prepare the cake. Bake it according to the package instructions and let it cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Crumble the Red Velvet Cake

Crumble the cooled red velvet cake into fine crumbs using a fork or your hands.

Step 4: Combine Cake Crumbs and Cheesecake Filling

Gradually add the red velvet cake crumbs to the cheesecake filling and mix until well combined.

Step 5: Form Truffle Balls

Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form the mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up the truffles.

Step 6: Melt the White Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and melted.

Step 7: Dip the Truffles

Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, coating it completely. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the truffle back on the baking sheet. Repeat for all truffles.

Step 8: Decorate with Sprinkles

Sprinkle the truffles with your favorite festive sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.

Step 9: Chill the Truffles

Place the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set the chocolate coating.
