Ingredients:
- 450g red velvet cake, pre-baked and cooled
- 10g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 225g Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
- 60g powdered sugar, sifted
- 5ml pure vanilla extract
- 340g white chocolate melting wafers
- 15g coconut oil
Instructions:
- Break the 450g red velvet cake into small pieces and pulse in a food processor or rub between your hands until it looks like fine sand. Note: Large chunks will make the balls fall apart.
- Stir the 10g unsweetened cocoa powder into the crumbs. Note: This ensures an even distribution of chocolate flavor.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the 225g softened cream cheese with 60g powdered sugar and 5ml vanilla until smooth and airy.
- Fold the cream cheese mixture into the cake crumbs using a spatula.
- Use your hands to knead the dough until it holds together like thick clay.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon mounds and roll them between your palms until perfectly round and smooth.
- Place the balls on a tray and freeze for 15 minutes until firm to the touch. Note: Do not skip this, or they will melt in the warm chocolate.
- Heat the 340g white chocolate and 15g coconut oil in 30 second bursts in the microwave until completely melted and glossy.
- Use a fork to submerge each ball in the chocolate, tapping the fork on the bowl edge until the excess chocolate drips off.
- Place back on the parchment and let sit for 10 minutes until the shell is hard and matte.
