Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup red velvet cake crumbs Use leftover cake or bake a new one and crumble once cool.
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese frosting Halal-friendly ingredient.
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • to taste cocoa powder For dusting truffles.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare Cake Crumbs: If you don’t have leftover red velvet cake, bake one according to your recipe and let it cool completely before crumbling it into fine pieces.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of red velvet cake crumbs with 1/2 cup of cream cheese frosting. Mix them well until thoroughly incorporated and a soft dough forms.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes. This will firm up the mixture, making it easier to shape.
  4. Form the Truffles: Once chilled, use your hands to scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 1 cup of white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until melted smoothly.
  6. Coat the Truffles: Dip each red velvet ball into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.
  7. Dust with Cocoa: Before the chocolate hardens, dust the tops with cocoa powder for an elegant finish.
  8. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the truffles again for about 30 minutes to allow the coating to set firmly.

Notes

Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
