Ingredients

Strawberry Cheesecake Bites:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese , softened
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
  • 13.25 box strawberry cake mix*
  • 12 ounces almond bark or pink melting wafers
Decoration:
  • white chocolate , optional
  • Valentines Day festive sprinkles , optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the salt and vanilla extract until combined.
  2. Add the dry cake mix and continue to beat until smooth. The mixture will be very crumbly, but will come together eventually and be smooth, but thick.
  3. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  5. At 30 second intervals, melt the almond bark or pink chocolate wafers, stirring between each until smooth. Alternately, use a double boiler.
  6. Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, make a ball of the dense dough. Using a toothpick or fork, dip this into the melted chocolate, tapping on the side to smooth and shake off excess, then gently place onto the parchment paper.
  7. If adding sprinkles, top while the chocolate is still tacky. Repeat with remaining dough.
  8. Allow the chocolate to set and then, if desired, drizzle with more melted white chocolate. To set faster, chill for 10-15 minutes.
  9. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Store leftovers chilled as well.
  10. If you've tried this recipe, come back and let us know how it was in the comments or star ratings.

Notes

  • This will work with both a 13.25 or 15.25 box of cake mix using the same volumes of other ingredients.
  • If we are all being honest with one another, most of you will not heat your flour. And I didn't either... shhh, don't tell! There are some things I am willing to roll the dice on and sushi, raw cookie dough, and cake mix are the lot of them.
  • But if you do want to go through this step, and as a responsible recipe creator I have to implore you to do so... so here is how you do it.
  • How to Heat Treat Cake Mix In the Oven: To heat treat cake mix in the oven, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and spread the dry mix evenly on a baking sheet. Bake for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the dry mixture reaches an internal temperature of 160°F. Allow the cake mix to cool completely before using.
  • How to Heat Treat Cake Mix in the Microwave: Microwaving cake mix is not recommended as it may alter the texture and flavor. But if you want to use this method, place dry mix into a microwave safe bowl and heat at 50% power for 30 seconds, stirring and repeating twice. Allow the cake mix to cool completely before using.
