How to Make Cake Truffles

  1. Crumble 2 cups of leftover cake into a medium-sized bowl. If using store-bought cake, ensure it's completely cooled.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat 1/2 cup of frosting until smooth and creamy. Add 1 tablespoon of milk or cream for desired consistency.
  3. Add the crumbled cake to the frosting and gently mix until fully combined. The mixture should be moist but not overly wet.
  4. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands or a small cookie scoop. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. (Alternatively, use melted candy melts)
  6. Dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Place the dipped truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Optional: Sprinkle with chopped nuts, sprinkles, or cocoa powder for added flair.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
  9. Once set, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
