Description
Cherry Sundae Cake Balls are a delightful dessert that combines the rich flavor of chocolate cake with the sweetness of cherries and a creamy white chocolate coating.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
- or 3 cups already baked leftover chocolate cake, crumbled
- ¾ cup chocolate frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups white chocolate chips or white candy melts
- 2 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening
- Rainbow sprinkles
- 20–24 maraschino cherries (drained and patted dry very well)
Instructions
- Prepare chocolate cake according to the box directions. Let it cool completely. Crumble into fine crumbs in a large bowl.
- Add chocolate frosting to the cake crumbs. Mix with a spoon or hands until a dough-like texture forms. Scoop and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a lined baking sheet and freeze 20–25 minutes.
- Add white chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip each cake ball into the melted white chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place back on lined sheet. Add sprinkles immediately before the chocolate sets. Top each with a maraschino cherry.
- Let chocolate harden at room temperature or refrigerate for 10 minutes to set completely. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Make sure cherries are dried well — otherwise the chocolate may separate.
- These cake balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Feel free to customize toppings with different sprinkles or nuts.
