Homemade Chocolate Truffles Recipe image

These homemade chocolate truffles are extra creamy with the addition of butter. After mixing the ingredients together, let the mixture set in the refrigerator, then roll into balls. You can coat in your favorite toppings and add lots of fun flavors, too! The mixture gets a little sticky, so refer back to my tips in the blog post above.

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

two 4-ounce quality chocolate bars (226g), very finely chopped*
2/3 cup (160ml) heavy cream*
optional: 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
optional: 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
toppings: unsweetened cocoa powder, sprinkles, crushed nuts, melted or tempered chocolate

Steps:

  • Place the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat the heavy cream until it is simmering. You can heat it on the stove or in the microwave.
  • Add the butter, if using, to the chocolate and pour the heavy cream evenly on top. Let the warm cream and chocolate sit for 5 minutes minutes. Add the vanilla extract then stir until the chocolate has completely melted. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface (to avoid condensation) and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Tip: Pour into a flat shallow dish, such as a 8×8 inch baking pan, so the mixture evenly and quickly sets.
  • Scoop the set truffle mixture into 2 teaspoon-sized mounds. This cookie scoop is the perfect size. For larger truffles, 1 Tablespoon size mounds. Roll each into balls. This gets a little sticky, so see my tips above.
  • Roll each into toppings, if desired. Truffles taste best at room temperature!
  • Cover tightly and store truffles at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Time 1h15m

Yield 40-50 cake truffles, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box cake mix (any flavor)
3 eggs (or as called for by your cake mix)
1/3 cup oil (or as called for by your cake mix)
1 1/3 cups water (or as called for by your cake mix)
1 (16 ounce) can cream cheese frosting
1 (1 1/2 lb) package chocolate bark
wax paper
candy sprinkles, to decorate (optional)
chocolate chips, melted, to decorate (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook the cake as directed on the box for a 13 X 9 cake.
  • After the cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into a large bowl. Make sure any parts that have a more crusty texture (from the outside edge of the pan) are picked out.
  • Mix the cake thoroughly with the cream cheese frosting (like you would mix meatloaf). Make sure the cake is moist enough to roll into balls, but not mushy; you may not need to use all of the frosting (I find that about 3/4 of the container is a good amount).
  • Roll the mixture into quarter-size balls and lay on a wax-paper covered cookie sheet.
  • Chill for several hours (you can speed this up by putting in the freezer).
  • Melt chocolate in the microwave per directions on package.
  • Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm. (Use two spoons to dip and roll in chocolate and then tap off extra.).
  • Decorate as desired.
  • NOTES:.
  • For steps 3 and 4, I found it works very well to wear powder-free latex gloves (if you're not allergic). I already have them for cutting jalapenos. They don't stick to the cake, and no coloring gets on your hands (if you're working with a red velvet cake, like in my eyeball pictures).
  • If using small sprinkles to decorate, use a 1/4 teaspoons measuring spoon, and sprinkle a little on the top of each cake truffle before the chocolate coating firms up.
  • I chilled my cake truffles in the refrigerator overnight (for step 5), and they were easy to work with.
  • I used a 1 lb. bag of candy melts from the craft store, but I ran out near the last 1/3 of my cake truffles, so I covered the rest with either powdered sugar or drizzled semi-sweet chocolate (therefore, I recommend using more than one bag of candy melts, or a couple of packages of candy bark available at most grocery stores).
  • The recipe says it makes 40-50 cake truffles, but I usually get about 88 (I must roll them smaller).

Tips:

  • Choose a moist and flavorful cake: This will ensure that your truffles have a rich and delicious taste. A chocolate cake, vanilla cake, or red velvet cake are all good options.
  • Crumble the cake finely: This will help the truffles to hold together better. You can use a food processor or simply use your hands to crumble the cake.
  • Use a good quality chocolate: This will also help to ensure that your truffles have a rich and delicious taste. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate is a good option.
  • Chill the truffles before coating them: This will help them to hold their shape better. You can chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  • Be creative with your coatings: You can use a variety of coatings for your truffles, such as melted chocolate, cocoa powder, sprinkles, or nuts.

Conclusion:

Cake truffles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a snack. With a little creativity, you can create cake truffles that are both beautiful and delicious.
