Description
Red Velvet Cheesecake Bites are delightful treats that combine the rich flavors of red velvet cake with creamy cheesecake, all coated in smooth chocolate.
Ingredients
- Red velvet cake mix: 1 box (15.25 oz)
- Eggs: 3 large
- Vegetable oil: 1/2 cup
- Water: 1 cup
- Cream cheese: 8 oz (softened)
- Powdered sugar: 1 cup
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- Chocolate coating: 2 cups (melting chocolate or chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Allow it to cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
- Crumble the cooled red velvet cake into a large bowl and mix in the cheesecake filling until fully combined.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Melt the chocolate coating in a microwave-safe bowl. Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your Red Velvet Cheesecake Bites!
Notes
- Let the cake cool completely before crumbling.
- Avoid overmixing the batter for a light texture.
- Chill the formed balls to maintain their shape when dipped in chocolate.
- Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Ensure even coating when dipping in chocolate.
