Ingredients
Scale
1 box extra moist strawberry cake mix
227 grams cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
260 grams light pink candy melts
90 grams white candy melts
Crumbled shortcake, for topping
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, blend strawberry cake mix, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract. Mix for 2–3 minutes until fully incorporated and mixture is bright pink.
Using a 2.5 cm cookie scoop, portion out mixture and roll into smooth balls between your palms. Arrange all formed balls on the prepared baking sheet.
Refrigerate truffle centres for 60 minutes to firm.
Five minutes before the chilling ends, add pink candy melts to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power for 1 minute, stir, then continue in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted.
Using two forks or dipping tools, immerse each chilled truffle in the melted pink candy, coating completely. Remove excess coating, transfer truffles back to the parchment-lined sheet.
Return coated truffles to the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes to set.
Place white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Repeat the melting process from the previous step until the mixture is silky smooth.
Transfer melted white candy to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Drizzle over each truffle, then immediately top with crumbled shortcake before the drizzle sets.
Refrigerate finished truffles for an additional 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
You can use different colors of candy melts for decoration.
Store truffles in the refrigerator for up to a week.
