Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Sugar-Free Red Velvet Cake Mix
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Applesauce
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Water or Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 4 oz Light Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup Sugar-Free Powdered Sweetener
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 8 oz Sugar-Free White Chocolate Chips
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil
  • Optional: Natural Red Food Coloring
  • Optional Garnishes: Sugar-Free Sprinkles, Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

Method
 

  1. Bake the Sugar-Free Red Velvet Cake Mix as per the package directions, substituting oil with unsweetened applesauce and using eggs and water/almond milk as specified. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean and let it cool completely.
  2. Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In another bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sugar-free powdered sweetener, and vanilla until creamy.
  4. Combine the cream cheese mixture with the crumbled cake, mixing until it forms a dough-like consistency.
  5. Scoop out portions of the mixture using a cookie scoop and roll them into balls.
  6. Chill the rolled truffles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Melt the sugar-free white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth.
  8. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, coating thoroughly, then return it to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  9. If desired, sprinkle with garnishes immediately after dipping.
  10. Let the finished truffles set in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm.

Notes

Ensure the cake is completely cooled before crumbling to avoid a greasy texture. Use smaller batches for dipping to maintain optimal chocolate consistency.
