Red Velvet Cake Balls are bite-sized treats made by combining crumbled red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, then dipping them in white chocolate or candy melts. They’re rich, festive, and perfect for parties, holidays, or gifting.

Ingredients

  • 1 baked red velvet cake (homemade or from a boxed mix), cooled
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup cream cheese frosting (homemade or store-bought)
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips or candy melts
  • Optional: sprinkles, red velvet crumbs, or chocolate drizzle for decoration

Instructions

  1. Crumble the cooled red velvet cake into a large bowl until fine and even.
  2. Add 1/2 cup of cream cheese frosting and mix until a dough forms. Add more frosting a spoonful at a time if needed.
  3. Scoop and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour or freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.
  5. Melt white chocolate or candy melts in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  6. Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted coating, letting excess drip off. Place back on parchment paper.
  7. Decorate immediately with sprinkles, cake crumbs, or a chocolate drizzle.
  8. Let set completely at room temperature or in the fridge before serving.

Notes

  • Use boxed cake and canned frosting for a quicker version.
  • Flavor the frosting with almond or vanilla extract for variety.
  • Try dark or milk chocolate instead of white for a richer flavor.
  • Let cake balls rest at room temperature for a few minutes before dipping to prevent cracking.
  • Store in the fridge or freeze for make-ahead treats.
