Red Velvet Cake Truffles - Homemade Sweets Dessert Idea

Valentine’s Day just got a whole lot sweeter—and honestly, a little fancier too. Meet Red Velvet Cake Truffles: bite-sized, melt-in-your-mouth treats that’ll have you (and anyone you share them with) swooning after the first bite. Think of them as the love child between cake and candy. Yeah, it’s that good.

Now here’s the deal. You don’t need to be a pro baker to pull these off. In fact, these beauties fall under the No Bake Red Velvet category once the cake is prepped. Roll, dip, chill, and boom—you’ve got yourself one of those Desserts That Sell Well at bake sales, parties, or even just your own kitchen counter.

But let’s be real: why stop at Valentine’s Day? These little guys fit in just about anywhere. Craving some rich and creamy Cheesecake Truffles after dinner? Done. Want to impress your friends with trendy Cool Desserts? Easy. Trying to replicate those high-end shop vibes with Candy Recipes Homemade that actually taste better than store-bought? You’re in the right place.

And if you’re wondering whether these truffles are the dessert version of multitaskers, the answer is a loud YES. They hit that sweet spot between cake pops and Homemade Candies, while also channeling serious Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake energy. IMO, that’s dessert goals right there.

The best part? They’re ridiculously versatile. You can dress them up with sprinkles for parties, drizzle them with chocolate for a fancier vibe, or keep them simple if you just want to snack straight from the fridge. That’s the beauty of Homemade Sweets—you get to call the shots.

So… ready to roll up your sleeves and whip up some dreamy Dessert Truffles? Trust me, once you make a batch, you’ll be hooked.

Red Velvet Cake Truffles - Homemade Sweets Dessert Idea

Get ready for bite-sized bliss! These red velvet truffles are perfect for Valentine’s Day or any time you need a sweet, indulgent pick-me-up.

Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook Time: 30 mins | Total Time: 45 mins

Servings: 42 | Author: Aleda | Category: Dessert

Ingredients:

• 1 box red velvet cake mix, plus ingredients required to bake according to package directions
• 8 oz cream cheese (light or regular), softened
• 12 oz chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white)
• 2 tsp vegetable oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)

Instructions:

1. Bake the Cake: Follow the directions on the cake box and bake the cake. Let it cool completely before moving on.
2. Make the Cake Base: Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl using your hands or a fork. Add the softened cream cheese and gently knead until fully combined into a smooth, moldable mixture.
3. Form Cake Balls: Scoop about a heaping tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into balls. You should end up with roughly 42 truffles. Place them on a baking sheet lined with wax paper and refrigerate while you melt the chocolate.
4. Dip in Chocolate: Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl, stirring in oil if desired. Remove the chilled cake balls from the fridge. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to coat evenly. Tap the fork lightly on the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate, then return the truffle to the wax paper. Repeat with all balls.
5. Add Finishing Touches: Pour any leftover chocolate into a small plastic bag, snip a corner, and drizzle over the truffles for a decorative touch.
6. Chill & Enjoy: Refrigerate the truffles for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens. Grab one (or three) and enjoy your homemade sweet indulgence!
