Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup strawberry-flavored cake crumbs
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
Instructions
- Crumble the strawberry cake into fine, uniform pieces in a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Pour in sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract, blending thoroughly until the mixture transforms into a cohesive, pliable dough.
- Using clean hands or a small scoop, form compact, uniform spheres approximately one tablespoon in size, rolling gently between palms to create smooth, round truffles.
- Generously dust each truffle with powdered sugar, rotating and covering completely to create a delicate, snow-white exterior.
- Arrange the sugar-coated truffles on a flat plate, maintaining slight separation between each piece.
- Refrigerate for 60-90 minutes at 40°F, allowing the truffles to solidify and develop a firm, elegant texture.
- Remove from refrigerator 10 minutes before serving to allow slight softening, enhancing their creamy, melt-in-your-mouth quality.
- Serve chilled or at cool room temperature, presenting as an elegant, bite-sized dessert perfect for intimate gatherings or personal indulgence.
Notes
- Swap cake mix for gluten-free alternative to create celiac-friendly truffles that everyone can enjoy.
- Use fresh strawberry powder instead of cake crumbs for a more intense natural fruit flavor and vibrant color.
- Try different extracts like rose or coconut to add unique twists and surprise taste profiles.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, allowing flavors to meld and intensify over time.
