Carrot Cake Truffles

You all know I love Instant Pot cake! So I wanted to take a little spin on cake, and transform this cake mix recipe. I hope you enjoy these truffles as much as we have.

How to Make

Cake Batter | Follow the directions to make a cake batter and pour and cook in the pressure as directed. This is very straightforward since you are using a carrot cake boxed cake mix.

Mixing Into Cake Truffles | Once your cake is cooled you will mix with the cream cheese frosting. Use a cookie scoop and roll into round balls.

Dipping | Dip your cake truffles in white chocolate, drizzle over the top, and top with nuts. You can decorate your carrot cake bites however you would like.

Variations To Carrot Cake Truffles Recipe

• Consider making a homemade carrot cake instead of box
• Add in some freshly shredded carrots for texture
• Put truffles on a stick and dip into chocolate to transform to a cake pop
• Decorate differently with sprinkles for Easter, etc

Can I Make This Recipe With A Different Flavor Of Cake

Essentially you can make this recipe with any type of cake mix you would like. I am a huge fan of carrot cake (like this Carrot Cake Cheesecake recipe) but even a vanilla, chocolate, or gingerbread would be awesome.

Depending on the time of year, or holiday approaching change it up and create truffles for all year round.

Best Way To Store Carrot Cake Truffles

Since there is cream cheese in these truffle bites, they need to be refrigerated. Place in an airtight container and store in the fridge. I put parchment paper in between layers if I stack, to help prevent the cake truffles from sticking together.

6. When the cake has finished cooking, do a manual release for 10 minutes and then let the remaining pressure out.
7. Let the cake cool on a cooling rack, and then transfer it to a bowl and break the cake into crumbles with a fork.
8. Add the cream cheese frosting to the cake crumbles and mix together until it forms a ball and is mixed together good.
9. Form bite sized cake balls out of the crumbled mixture. Set the cake balls on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and freeze for 10 minutes.
10. In a small bowl, melt together the chocolate and vegetable oil. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring each time.
11. Coat the cake balls and cover them completely in the white chocolate, dip them halfway, or lightly drizzle. You can top them with pecan bits or eat them as is.
