Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Vanilla cake (baked and cooled)
- 150 grams Cream cheese frosting
- 300 grams White chocolate (for coating)
- 3 drops each Gel food coloring (pink, blue, and purple)
- 50 grams Edible glitter or sprinkles
Instructions
Crumble the cooled vanilla cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl.
Add the cream cheese frosting to the cake crumbs and mix thoroughly until the mixture achieves a dough-like consistency.
Divide the cake mixture into three equal parts. Add a drop of pink food coloring to one part, blue to another, and purple to the last part. Mix each portion until the color is evenly distributed.
Take a small amount of each colored mixture and gently combine them into a marble-like effect. Roll into 1-inch balls. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Place the cake balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 15 minutes to firm up.
Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, or microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.
Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing it back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Quickly decorate the coated truffles with edible glitter or sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
Allow the truffles to set completely at room temperature, or refrigerate for faster setting.
Serve and enjoy your magical Unicorn Cake Truffles!
