Ingredients You Need
carrot cake truffles recipe
- 1 box of carrot cake mix (add eggs, oil & water – bake cake according to the instructions-can also use a carrot cake already baked or you can use this carrot cake recipe
- 8 ounces softened cream cheese
- 16 ounces (2 cups) white chocolate bar or white chocolate chips, white candy melts or almond bark can also be used.
- Optional, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, vegetable oil or canola oil, if needed for thinning out chocolate
How to Make Carrot Cake Truffles
- Simply follow the instructions on the box carrot cake mix and bake your cake to perfection. Once it’s cooled, crumble it into a large bowl to prepare for the next step.
- Transform your favorite carrot cake into delectable bite-sized treats! Start by crumbing the cake and mixing in rich cream cheese for the perfect blend of flavors, without over-blending too much. Once combined, shape the mixture into 40 small cake balls and arrange them on a lined cookie sheet.
- Chill cake balls for 15 minutes in the freezer.
- For carrot cake truffle lovers, here’s a tip for creating the perfect white chocolate coating. In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave the white chocolate for 30 seconds, stir, and then repeat until creamy & melted. If the consistency is too thick, simply add up to a tablespoon of oil to thin it out. Voila – a smooth and delicious coating for your truffles!
- Take each one by dipping and rolling it in delicious melted white chocolate until it’s completely coated, allowing the excess chocolate to drip off back into the bowl.
- Then, place them back on the lined baking sheet pan and top them with chopped pecans, sprinkles or pipe some baby carrots on top with orange and green tinted frosting.
- Store truffles in the freezer or refrigerator until you’re ready to indulge.
Truffle Rolling Tip: When making the truffle balls, I like to use my small cookie scoop and scoop the carrot cake mixture out onto the lined cookie sheet and then roll them.
Storing Truffles
Keep your delectable cake balls fresh in the fridge for up to 4-5 days by storing them in a sealed ziplock bag or airtight container.
Other Options:

- Add a twist to your truffles by swapping out white chocolate chips for rich, creamy almond bark.
- Top your truffles with orange or green sprinkles, Easter colored sprinkles, Easter candies, or some chopped nuts.
