All the ingredients mentioned in the cake mix instructions
→ Cream Cheese Filling
03 -
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
04 -
16 oz of softened cream cheese
05 -
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
06 -
4 tbsp softened butter
07 -
1 tsp vanilla extract
# Steps:
01 -
Turn your oven to 350°F. Get 2 8-inch pans ready by greasing them or adding parchment paper.
02 -
Follow the directions on the packaging to make the cake. Let it cool down completely after baking.
03 -
After it's cooled, use your hands to crumble the cake into fine pieces, like sand. If it's still wet, split into chunks and dry out at 350°F for 5-6 minutes on a lined baking tray.
04 -
Grab a big bowl and beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and butter until it's light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
05 -
Drop the crushed graham crackers into the cream cheese mixture and toss in the vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.
06 -
Scoop 2 teaspoons of the mixture at a time, form into balls with your hands, and place them on a lined tray or plate. Chill them in the fridge for an hour.
07 -
Take the cream cheese balls out and roll them in the red velvet crumbs until they’re completely covered. Shape them into round bites again if needed.
08 -
Serve right away or store in the fridge until you’re ready to eat.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
You can make these sweeter by using 2 cups of sugar instead of half a cup.
