Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a baking pan with non-stick spray. Mix cake mix, eggs, and water according to package instructions; bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely, then crumble it into fine pieces in a large bowl.
- In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add cocoa powder and mix well.
- Combine half of the crumbled cake with the cheesecake mixture until evenly mixed; the texture should be thick yet moldable.
- Roll small portions into bite-sized balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill for at least an hour. Melt chocolate chips until smooth; dip each truffle in melted chocolate until fully coated and return to parchment paper to set.
