Red Velvet Cheesecake Bites
Description
The recipe starts by baking a red velvet cake using a boxed mix, which is then allowed to cool fully and crumbled. Separately, cream cheese is beaten with powdered sugar until light and fluffy, then milk and vanilla extract are added to create a smooth, sweet cream cheese filling with stiff peaks.
Small scoops of the cream cheese mixture are formed into balls and chilled until firm enough to handle. These balls are then rolled in the red velvet cake crumbs to coat them evenly, and refrigerated again to set. The combination of the creamy, sweet cheesecake center and the tender, flavorful outer cake crumb coating creates a balanced texture and flavor profile typical of red velvet desserts but in a convenient bite-sized form.
The bites should be kept chilled until serving and offer a refined dessert option that's easy to share and visually appealing.
Ingredients
- 1 box red velvet cake mix plus ingredients called for on the box
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prepare and cook red velvet cake per box directions.
- Using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese, and powdered sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add milk and vanilla and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the cream cheese mixture into balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Transfer to the freezer to chill for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool fully. Cut it in half, place one half in a large bowl, and snack on or save the other half for later.
- Turn the cake that you placed in the bowl into crumbs.
- Once chilled, roll balls in red velvet cake crumbs until fully coated, then return to the prepared baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for about 1 hour or until ready to serve.
