Ingredients

Scale

For the Red Velvet Base:

  • 1 box red velvet cake mix (or homemade red velvet cake batter)
  • Ingredients required for the cake mix (usually eggs, oil, and water)

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz (1 package) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Coating:

  • 12 oz semi-sweet or white chocolate chips (or candy melts)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smooth coating)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Red Velvet Base:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the red velvet cake mix according to package instructions.
    • Bake the cake in a 9×13-inch pan and let it cool completely.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
    • In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Assemble the Bites:
    • Crumble the cooled red velvet cake into fine crumbs.
    • Add the cheesecake filling to the crumbs and mix until a dough-like consistency forms.
    • Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  4. Coat the Bites:
    • Melt the chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Add coconut oil if desired.
    • Dip each red velvet ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Use a fork to lift the ball and let the excess chocolate drip off.
    • Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined sheet and let the chocolate set.
  5. Decorate and Serve:
    • Drizzle with additional melted chocolate or sprinkle with festive decorations if desired.
    • Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can use white chocolate for a different look and flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
