Create Your Own Red Velvet Truffles to Share with Someone Special
Ingredients:
- 1 Dutch Apron® Bakery Red Velvet Cake Roll
- 1 bag of red candy melts
- Milk chocolate melting wafers
- White chocolate melting wafers
Instructions:
- Take the Red Velvet Cake Roll out of your freezer or refrigerator and let it thaw for 15-20 minutes.
- Place the cake in a blender, put on the lid, and turn it on high. Blend until the cake is thoroughly mixed with the cream cheese frosting.
- Scoop the mixture into uniform balls and place them in a large mixing bowl or on a baking tray.
- Freeze the balls for one hour.
- Once the balls are chilled, take them out of the freezer and roll each one in the palm of your hand to create a nice, smooth surface.
- Prepare the red candy melts following the instructions on the packaging.
- Dip each cake ball into the melted red candy using a fork. Tap the fork on the edge of the ball to remove any excess coating; this helps give the truffles a smoother finish.
- Slide the cake ball off the fork and onto wax paper to harden. Repeat with the remaining cake balls.
- Prepare the milk chocolate melting wafers following the instructions on the packaging.
- Take a piping bag and fold over the top. Place the piping bag in an empty glass to keep it upright.
- Pour the milk chocolate into the piping bag. Twist the top of the piping bag tightly, so the chocolate doesn’t leak out.
- Snip the tip off the piping bag. Just cut a small amount off to start with.
Tip: You can test to see if this is the size of the drizzle you want by squeezing some of the chocolate out of the bag into a bowl. If you want the drizzle thicker, you can cut a little more off the tip.
- Start squeezing the chocolate over one of your truffles while rapidly moving your hand back and forth. Continuing doing this until each truffle has milk chocolate drizzled over top.
- Repeat steps 9-13 with the white chocolate melting wafers.
- Let the Red Velvet Truffles completely harden before serving.
