Description
Delicious holiday-inspired cake balls made with Little Debbie Christmas Tree cakes and coated in white chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 Little Debbie vanilla Christmas tree snack cakes, unwrapped (from 2 – 8.62 oz. boxes)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 20 ounces white chocolate melting wafers, Ghirardelli brand used
- 6 ounces red vanilla flavored melting candy wafers, Wilton brand used
- 1 tablespoon green sanding sugar sprinkles
Instructions
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and beat on medium speed with a handheld mixer for 1-2 minutes or until fluffy and smooth.
- Break the Little Debbie vanilla Christmas tree Snack Cakes into smaller pieces and add to the bowl of beaten cream cheese. Mix on low speed until fully combined while still having some small pieces remaining.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out 1 tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll into smooth balls.
- Place the cake balls onto one of the prepared baking sheets and repeat until all are formed.
- Freeze the cake balls for 30-45 minutes until completely solid.
- Melt the white chocolate wafers according to package directions and stir until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, melt the red vanilla flavored candy wafers, transfer to a small piping bag with the tip cut off.
- Coat each cake ball in the melted white chocolate, gently tapping off excess before placing them on the second baking sheet.
- Pipe a decorative zig-zag pattern on top of each coated cake ball and sprinkle with green sanding sugar.
- Allow the cake balls to set for 15-20 minutes until the coating is firm before serving.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Work quickly when coating the cake balls to prevent them from softening.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
