Description
Delightful bite-sized Strawberry Shortcake Truffles filled with creamy strawberry goodness and coated in pink chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) vanilla or white cake mix, plus ingredients listed on the box
- 1 cup strawberry frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup crushed vanilla wafer cookies or graham crackers (optional)
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, finely crushed (optional)
- 16 oz pink candy melts or pink chocolate coating
- 2 tbsp coconut oil or shortening
- 4–6 oz white chocolate or white candy melts (for drizzling)
- Crushed freeze-dried strawberries (for sprinkling)
- Pink sanding sugar or sprinkles
- Optional: edible gold leaf, gold stars, or pearl dust
Instructions
- Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven according to the cake mix package directions. Prepare and bake the cake as instructed in a 9×13 pan. Cool completely in the pan. Crumble the entire cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl.
- Make the Truffle Mixture: Add the strawberry frosting to your cake crumbs. Mix until it comes together like play-dough, and fold in crushed cookies or freeze-dried strawberries if using.
- Roll the Truffles: Use a cookie scoop to portion out about 1 to 2 tablespoons of mixture per truffle. Roll into smooth balls and place on a baking sheet. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Melt the Pink Coating: Combine pink candy melts with coconut oil and microwave until smooth.
- Dip and Coat: Coat each truffle in pink chocolate, letting excess drip off. Return to the baking sheet.
- Decorate: While the coating is wet, sprinkle with crushed strawberries and drizzle with melted white chocolate.
- Admire Your Work: Allow the coating to set completely before serving.
