Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • electric mixer
  • double boiler or microwave
  • Cookie scoop
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the strawberry cake mix evenly on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake for 5 minutes until lightly toasted. Allow to cool completely afterwards.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually incorporate the cooled strawberry cake mix into the cream cheese, mixing until a sticky dough forms. Fold in the cream cheese chips.
  3. Cover the prepared dough tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  4. After the dough has chilled, use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion out about 1½ tablespoons of dough at a time. Roll each portion into a smooth ball.
  5. Melt the Ghirardelli vanilla melting wafers in a double boiler or microwave. Heat gently, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
  6. Dip each truffle ball into the melted coating, ensuring it's fully submerged. Use a fork to lift it out, tapping to remove excess chocolate.
  7. Melt the pink candy melts in separate bowls and drizzle over the coated truffles for a beautiful design. Let them set completely before serving.
