- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating:
- 12 oz white chocolate or candy coating, melted
- Optional: red sprinkles or crushed freeze-dried raspberries for garnish
Instructions
- Bake the Red Velvet Cake: Prepare and bake the red velvet cake according to package instructions. Let it cool completely.
- Prepare Cake Balls Mixture: Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl. Add softened cream cheese and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft, dough-like consistency forms.
- Form Cake Balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.

- Garnish and Chill: Add sprinkles or crushed raspberries if desired. Chill in the refrigerator until set.

- For easier dipping, insert toothpicks into the cake balls before freezing.
- You can use dark or milk chocolate for coating if preferred.
