Print Recipe

Carrot Cake Truffles are the perfect bite-sized treat to add a little indulgence to your Easter celebration! These rich, creamy truffles are made with moist carrot cake and coated in a velvety cream cheese frosting, making them a fun and unique twist on traditional carrot cake. I love how easy they are to make, and they’re the ideal sweet treat for anyone who loves the flavors of carrot cake but wants something a bit more portable. These truffles are sure to be a hit and add a touch of elegance to your Easter spread!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box of carrot cake mix (plus ingredients required on the box)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • Orange and green sprinkles (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Bake the Cake:
    Prepare the carrot cake according to the package instructions. Allow it to cool completely.
  2. Crumble and Mix:
    Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl. Add softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Form Truffles:
    Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Melt Chocolate:
    Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  5. Coat and Decorate:
    Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place back on the parchment paper and immediately decorate with orange and green sprinkles.
  6. Set and Serve:
    Let the truffles set in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a Homemade Touch: If you prefer, use your favorite homemade carrot cake recipe instead of a box mix.
  • Chocolate Options: Swap white chocolate for dark or milk chocolate for a different flavor profile.
  • Storage: Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Make Ahead: These truffles can be made a day in advance, making them perfect for entertaining.
