Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
Coating
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or almond bark
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Decoration
- Red and green sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the cake mixture: In a large bowl, crumble the Christmas Tree Cakes finely using a fork or your hands. Add the softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly until the mixture reaches a dough-like consistency.
- Chill the mixture: Place the cake and cream cheese mixture in the fridge and chill for 20 to 30 minutes. This firms up the dough slightly, making it easier to shape.
- Shape the balls: Once chilled, roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls and arrange them on a parchment-lined tray. Freeze these balls for 15 to 20 minutes until they are firm.
- Melt the coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips or almond bark with coconut oil, if using. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Dip the cake balls: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each frozen cake ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place coated balls back onto the parchment paper.
- Decorate: Immediately sprinkle the dipped balls with red and green festive sprinkles before the coating sets.
- Set the coating: Let the coating harden at room temperature or refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes for quicker setting.
- Store: Keep the cake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- You can substitute chocolate-flavored Christmas Tree Cakes or use chocolate coating instead of white chocolate for different flavor variations.
- These cake balls make excellent holiday gifts and party treats.
- The recipe can be prepared ahead of time and stored refrigerated, making it convenient for holiday entertaining.
