Description
These bite-sized treats combine the subtle cocoa flavor of red velvet with the creamy richness of cheesecake, making them perfect for parties or indulgent snacking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 12 oz white chocolate, melted (optional, for dipping)
- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare the red velvet cake mix according to the package instructions and let it cool completely.
- Use a food processor or crumble the cake by hand to create fine crumbs.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In a large bowl, mix the red velvet crumbs with the melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Add the cheesecake mixture and mix until well combined.
- Use a melon baller or cookie scoop to form the mixture into bite-sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Refrigerate the bites for at least 1 hour to firm up.
- Melt the white chocolate in the microwave or a double boiler. Dip each bite into the chocolate, letting the excess drip off, and place back on the baking sheet.
- Decorate with sprinkles or a drizzle of dark chocolate, if desired. Let the chocolate set before serving.
Notes
Chill the bites thoroughly before dipping in chocolate to prevent them from falling apart. Experiment with toppings like crushed nuts or edible glitter for added flair.
