An Easy Strawberries and Cream Cake Ball Truffles Recipe!
Well, hello sweethearts! Valentine’s Day is approaching, and I have another sweet recipe for you to enjoy. I made these delicious strawberries and cream cake ball truffles, and my family absolutely went nuts. Wanna know something even better? I was even able to enjoy them (I’m allergic to strawberries! 🙁 ..). Now, I know you’re wondering how in the world I was able to eat this right? Easy! I used Pillsbury’s Strawberry Cake mix, which is actually artificially flavored, but tastes pretty damn good, if I do say so myself! To add even more strawberry flavor, I added a package of strawberry Jello. It was AHH-Mazing, y’all! If you’re one of those lucky people that can eat strawberries, you can add diced strawberries to the cake batter, and I’m sure that will be freaking delicious! Let me show you show I made these strawberries and cream cake ball truffles!
How to Make Strawberries and Cream Cake Ball Truffles
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Ingredients
I started off by grabbing my large mixing bowl and adding in the strawberry cake mix, strawberry Jello powder, eggs, vegetable oil and water. I then mixed everything until it was well incorporated and lump free.
Step 2: Bake the Cake
I then lightly oiled a 9×13 bake dish and poured in the cake batter. The cake was baked on 350 F for 35-40 minutes.
Step 3: Prepare the Cake
Once I removed the cake from the oven, I let it cool completely, then I crumbled it and placed the cake crumbs into a large bowl. I added cream cheese frosting into the bowl with the crumbled cake and mixed everything until it was almost like play dough (easy to form as balls).
Step 4: Make the Cake Truffles
I then scooped out the cake and rolled it into small balls. I dipped the cake balls in melted vanilla chips and placed the dipped cake balls in mini cupcake cups. Next, I let the vanilla harden.
Step 5: Design and Package the Cake Truffles
Once the vanilla hardened, I designed the cake truffles to my preference and placed them into tin cans and Valentine-themed treat boxes!
