These Red Velvet Cake Balls are a delightful no-bake treat combining the classic flavors of red velvet cake with creamy cream cheese and a smooth white chocolate coating. Perfect as bite-sized desserts, they are easy to make with just a few simple ingredients and an appealing festive look with optional red candy drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake Balls

  • 15.25 ounces red velvet cake mix
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

For the Coating

  • 12 ounces white almond bark
  • ¾ cup red candy melts (optional, for stripping garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat Treat Cake Mix: Place the dry red velvet cake mix into a medium-sized heat-safe bowl. Microwave in two 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval to heat treat the cake mix. Let it cool completely before use to ensure safety and proper blending.
  2. Beat Cream Cheese: In a medium mixing bowl, use a handheld mixer on medium-high speed to beat the softened cream cheese for 1½ to 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Cake Mix and Cream Cheese: Sprinkle the cooled dry cake mix over the cream cheese, then mix just until fully incorporated to form a cheesecake dough.
  4. Chill Dough: Cover the cheesecake dough tightly and refrigerate for 2 hours to firm up and make it easier to shape.
  5. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside for placing the formed cake balls.
  6. Shape Cake Balls: Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out dough and roll into balls. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all dough is used.
  7. Melt Almond Bark: In a heat-safe medium bowl, microwave white almond bark in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until completely melted and smooth.
  8. Coat Cake Balls: Dip each cake ball into the melted almond bark to fully coat. Use a fork to tap off excess coating, and a spoon to cover any bare spots. Transfer coated balls back to the baking sheet using a toothpick.
  9. Melt Candy Melts: Place red candy melts in a small heat-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until fully melted and smooth.
  10. Decorate and Harden: Lightly drizzle the melted red candy melts in stripes over the coated cake balls. Allow the coating to harden completely before serving for a firm, decorative finish.

Notes

  • Heating dry cake mix ensures it is safe to eat without baking.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the dough.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking while the balls harden.
  • The red candy melt drizzle is optional but adds a festive touch.
  • Store finished cake balls in the refrigerator for freshness.
