Easy Christmas Cake Balls
Easy Christmas Cake Balls recipe. This quick and simple last minute dessert idea is the perfect sweet treat for the holidays.
Ingredients
- 1 box Christmas Funfetti Cake Mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup frosting
- 200 g dark chocolate disks
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil
- Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cake mix, water, oil and eggs.
- Pour the batter into a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Using a stand mixer, mix together the cooled cake and frosting until fully combined. Set aside.
- Place the chocolate disks and the coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, mixing until smooth.
- Form the cake into balls using your hands. Dip them in the melted chocolate and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Sprinkle with the Christmas sprinkles.
- Place the cookie sheet in the fridge (or freezer) until the chocolate is hardened.
Notes
- I use avocado oil, but any neutral oil works.
- Allowing it to cool in the freezer results in a harder cake ball, and it will have to be kept frozen to avoid condensation forming. Allowing them to cool in the fridge will result in a softer cake ball that can be stored at either room temperature or in the fridge.
- Switch up the sprinkles to enjoy for any occasion
