What is a cake ball?
A cake ball is really just a truffle made out of cake crumbs and cream cheese frosting. Then dipped in melted chocolate and topped with sprinkles.
Recipe Tips
-
- You can use any flavor cake.
- Rolling the balls into 1 1/2 inches (I use this cookie scoop) you should get 35-40 balls. You can make them larger or smaller
- Cake balls are typically dipped in chocolate using melting wafers.
- Placing your cake balls in the freezer gives them a proper chill before you dip them.
- Throw uncoated cake balls in the freezer until ready to coat into melted chocolate.
These cake balls are so versatile. You can make them simple or make them fancy. Add a stick and they become cake pops. Whatever you choose, they will be a big hit!
