Ingredients:
- 15.25 ounces red velvet cake mix: The base of our truffles, providing the classic cocoa and vanilla flavor blend that red velvet is known for.
- 1 cup confectioner’s sugar: Adds sweetness and a smooth texture to the truffles.
- 8 ounces cream cheese (full fat): The creamy heart of the truffle, balancing the sweetness with its tangy, rich flavor.
- 3 tbsp heavy cream: Adjust as needed; this helps achieve the perfect dough-like consistency.
- Granulated sugar for rolling (optional): For an extra touch of sweetness and sparkle.
Instructions:
Mix the Ingredients:
- Begin by adding the red velvet cake mix, confectioner’s sugar, and cream cheese into the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Using the paddle attachment, mix on low speed until the ingredients start to come together. If the mixture seems dry, gradually add heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until you achieve a cohesive, dough-like consistency.
Form the Truffles:
- Once the dough is ready, use a tablespoon to scoop out portions of the mixture.
- Roll each portion between your hands to form smooth, even rounds.
Coat the Truffles:
- Decide how you want to finish your truffles. You can simply place them on a lined baking sheet or roll them in your choice of coatings. For a classic look, roll them in confectioner’s sugar. For a bit of crunch, opt for chopped nuts.
- If you’re feeling indulgent, consider dipping them in melted chocolate. Remember to chill the truffles in the refrigerator or freezer before dipping to help them maintain their shape.
Storage:
- These truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. Ensure they are in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
Tips for Success:
- Adjusting Consistency: The amount of heavy cream needed can vary. Start with one tablespoon and add more if necessary to ensure the mixture holds together well.
- Chilling for Chocolate Dipping: If using chocolate as a coating, chilling the truffles beforehand is crucial. This step ensures they remain firm and hold their shape during the dipping process.
