Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 12 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan vanilla cake crumbs
- 1/4 cup vegan frosting
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your vegan vanilla cake crumbs. If you have leftover cake, crumble it into fine pieces. If not, you can bake a small vegan vanilla cake using your favorite recipe or a store-bought option. Allow the cake to cool completely before crumbling.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the vegan vanilla cake crumbs with 1/4 cup of vegan frosting. Use a spatula or your hands to mix until the crumbs are fully incorporated with the frosting, forming a dough-like consistency. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more frosting until it holds together well.
- Once the mixture is well combined, use your hands to scoop out small portions and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the rolled truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup of vegan chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Dip each cake truffle into the melted chocolate, using a fork to ensure they are fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle your desired sprinkles over the truffles for decoration. This adds a festive touch to your birthday cake truffles.
- Once all the truffles are coated and decorated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- After the chocolate has hardened, your Vegan Birthday Cake Truffles are ready to serve! Enjoy them immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips
- • Ensure your cake crumbs are completely cool before mixing to prevent a soggy texture • Use a high-quality vegan frosting for the best flavor and binding consistency • For a smoother chocolate coating, use a double boiler method instead of microwaving • Experiment with different sprinkle colors and styles to match your theme or occasion • If the truffle mixture is too crumbly, add frosting gradually; if too wet, add more cake crumbs • Use a fork or dipping tool for more precise chocolate coating • Keep truffles refrigerated to maintain their shape and freshness • For extra flavor, try adding a drop of vanilla extract to the cake crumb mixture
