Instructions
How to Make Carrot Cake Truffles
- Simply follow the instructions on the box 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. (I like to use my small cookie scoop and scoop them out onto the lined cookie sheet and then roll them when I pull them from the freezer.)
- 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 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.
- Place each truffle back on the lined sheet pan and top them with chopped nuts, sprinkles, candies or pipe some baby carrots on top with orange and green tinted frosting. (Easy tip - Buy vanilla frosting and tint it orange and green colors and pipe them onto the tops of the truffles)
- 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.
