Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 8-inch round or equivalent Baked cake (any flavor, cooled)
- 0.5 cups Frosting (matching or complementary flavor)
- 2 cups Chocolate chips (semi-sweet or white, for coating)
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil or shortening
- 0.25 cups Sprinkles or crushed nuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
1. Crumble the baked and cooled cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a fork in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add the frosting to the cake crumbs, starting with 1/4 cup and gradually mixing in more until the mixture holds together when pressed but isn’t overly sticky.
3. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Refrigerate the cake balls for at least 30 minutes, or freeze them for 15 minutes, until firm.
5. Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil or shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
6. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the coated truffle back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
7. Quickly sprinkle with sprinkles or crushed nuts before the chocolate hardens.
8. Allow the chocolate coating to set completely, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator for faster results.
9. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
