Description
Festive no-bake treats blending vanilla Christmas Tree Cakes with cream cheese, coated in white chocolate, topped with red and green sprinkles and red icing drizzle. Creamy, sweet, and perfect for gifting or holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
10 Little Debbie Chocolate Christmas Tree Cakes (2 boxes)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
20 oz white candy melts (about 4 cups)
Green and red sprinkles, for garnish
1 (7 oz) pouch red cookie icing
Instructions
-
Prepare base: Unwrap the Christmas Tree Cakes. In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, pulse about 10 times until finely crumbled.
-
Add cream cheese: Mix in softened cream cheese on low speed just until smooth, about 1 minute.
-
Shape truffles: Using a 2‑teaspoon cookie scoop, portion dough into 1‑inch balls. Place on parchment‑lined baking sheet and freeze 5 minutes until firm.
-
Smooth and chill: Roll each ball by hand until smooth (use gloves if sticky). Return to freezer for 10 more minutes.
-
Melt coating: In a microwave‑safe bowl, melt white candy melts at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until fully smooth (2–3 minutes total).
-
Dip truffles: Using a fork, dip each truffle in melted candy, scraping off excess. Set on parchment.
-
Decorate: Immediately top with green and red sprinkles and pipe curved lines of red cookie icing over the coating.
-
Set and serve: Let stand 15 minutes until coating hardens. Store chilled until ready to serve.
Notes
Chill and refreeze truffles between steps for easier dipping.
Melt candy melts on low power to avoid clumping.
Use fork for smooth dipping and clean edges.
Decorate while coating is wet for sprinkles to stick.
Store airtight in fridge up to 1 week or freeze up to 2 months.
