Ingredients
2 cups crumbled strawberry cake
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 ½ cups white chocolate chips or melting wafers
¼ cup red candy melts or a few drops of red food coloring gel (optional)
2 tbsp freeze-dried strawberry crumbs (optional)
Instructions
1. Bake or crumble the strawberry cake until it forms fine crumbs. Let cool completely if freshly baked.
2. In a large bowl, combine cake crumbs with softened cream cheese. Mix until it becomes a thick, smooth dough.
3. Scoop 1-tablespoon portions and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15–20 minutes.
4. Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
5. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool. Tap off excess and place back on parchment.
6. While the coating is wet, drizzle with melted red candy melts or colored chocolate. Sprinkle with freeze-dried strawberry crumbs if using.
7. Let truffles set completely at room temperature or chill briefly until firm.
Notes
For best results, use full-fat block-style cream cheese, not whipped or spreadable versions.
If the chocolate is too thick for dipping, thin it with a small amount of coconut oil.
These freeze beautifully! Store in a zip-top freezer bag for up to 2 months.
