Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 1 cup Cream Cheese, softened
  • 2 cups Red Velvet Cake Crumbs (homemade or store-bought, finely crumbled)
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tablespoons Butter, melted

Optional Coating

  • 1 cup White Chocolate, melted for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Red Velvet Cake Crumbs: Bake your favorite red velvet cake or use store-bought and finely crumble it, ensuring the crumbs are moist enough to hold together when mixed.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese and Sugar: Beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy, free of lumps for the best texture.
  3. Combine Cake Crumbs and Cream Cheese: Gently fold the red velvet crumbs into the cream cheese mixture, add vanilla extract for flavor depth, and melted butter to help bind the mixture.
  4. Shape into Bites: Using your hands or a small scoop, form the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Optional Coating: Dip each bite into melted white chocolate if desired and place them back onto parchment paper to set for a glossy, indulgent finish.
  6. Chill Until Firm: Refrigerate the shaped bites for at least 2 hours to firm up their texture and enhance the flavor before serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer, creamier texture.
  • Gently fold ingredients to avoid crushing the cake crumbs and over-densifying the mixture.
  • Chill thoroughly to help bites hold their shape and intensify flavor.
  • Homemade red velvet cake crumbs provide a fresher taste, but store-bought works well for convenience.
  • Adjust sugar to taste depending on the sweetness of your cake crumbs.
