Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper/wax paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth.
- Gradually add in the cake mix to the cream cheese while continuing to beat with the hand mixer until the box of cake mix is incorporated and a dough has formed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to chill for at least an hour.
- Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the dough and roll until a smooth ball forms. If you find the dough is sticking to your hands as you roll it, lightly grease your hands with vegetable oil.
- Place the sanding sugar in small shallow bowls.
- Roll the truffles in the sanding sugar until thoroughly coated with no bare spots.
- Place on the parchment paper/wax paper and continue to make the remaining truffles.
- Place the truffles in the fridge while still on the cookie sheet until they firm up, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge.
Notes
- CAKE MIX: You can use any brand white cake mix for this recipe.
- HEAT TREATING: Be sure to heat treat the cake mix by either baking it at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes or in the microwave in 30-second intervals for 1 minute to kill any potential bacterial from the raw flour.
- STORAGE: Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- FREEZING: You can freeze these truffles in a freezer-safe container or zippered freezer bag for up to 2 months. Defrost the truffles by placing them in the fridge overnight.
