Let Me tell you why you should make these Red velvet Truffles

First, they are legitimate desserts that you just need to make for your loved one. The most important right?

They are so charming, cute, bright little, bite-sized desserts, and they are absolutely perfect to adorn your dinner tables or pretty gift boxes. So, they are just the ultimate dessert to gift o to entertain

And one of the best activities to do with kids. Rolling and dipping truffles are so much fun.

How to make Red velvet Truffles

I totally love this idea of using up leftover cake to make cake truffles. So for these Red velvet truffles, I used up my mini bundt red velvet bundt cakes that were leftover. Or you may use Red Velvet Loaf Cake. Any of those are just perfect.

Alternatively, you may use a boxed Red Velvet cake mix. Where you can bake the cake according to the packet instructions, cool it completely, and then make the cake truffles

Ingredients you will need

But, these truffles can be the easiest when you have some leftover cake and frosting.

For this recipe, I used some leftover red velvet cake and some softened cream cheese.

So you will need

Cake crumbs - baked and crumbled red velvet cake. Or Left Over Red Velvet Cake crumbled.
Cream Cheese Frosting
White Chocolate

but I prefer using softened cream cheese because the white chocolate coating is sweet, so just using cream cheese will give the right balance of flavors.

Instructions On How to Make ?

Just break the cake into fine crumbs either with a fork or with a hand. Add in the cream cheese and mix well with a spatula.
Roll into truffles, place it on a lined baking sheet, and place it in the refrigerator.
Then melt white chocolate or any chocolate - dip and let it sit for some time.
Drizzle and pipe some melted chocolate and top with some sprinkles or cake crumbs.

Swaps, substitutes and other dipping ideas for Red Velvet Truffles

You may use cream cheese, white chocolate ganache or buttercream. The idea here is some frosting to bind the cake crumbs so that it forms a ball.

What you cannot use is whipped cream or fruit compotes or something that has high water content.

You may use melted or tempered chocolate.

White Chocolate

Milk chocolate

White chocolate

Melted chocolate – drizzle melted white, or dark or milk chocolate.

Can you make these truffles ahead?

yes, this is a perfect make-ahead dessert. Suitable for a lot of occasions.

From valentines day, to food gifts, to birthday parties.

Storage and Shelf Life

So how long do these truffles stay good? – For about 1 week when refrigerated.

I would not recommend freezing. Because of temperature fluctuations, the truffles will start sweating and you do not want that.

Make the truffles, dip them in chocolate, decorate. Let it set well. Then pack in airtight containers using mini cupcake liner or truffle holders. That way, the truffles will not stick to each other.

you can use a variety of packing ideas like pouches, boxes, and tins. These also make for a perfect food gift.

Recipe Yield

An 8-inch cake will give around 20 - 24 truffles.

But the size and number of truffles totally depend on the size of cake you bake, the size of the truffles themselves.
