Notes
Freeze dried strawberries add a strong strawberry flavor to the truffles but they are optional!
I’m using strawberry cake mix from a box but feel free to substitute your favorite homemade strawberry cake if you prefer.
Cream cheese frosting binds the truffles together. You could use vanilla or chocolate frosting but I love the tanginess of the cream cheese.
We’re adding even more tanginess and creaminess to these truffles with more whipped cream cheese! Make sure it’s fully softened so it incorporates smoothly.
White chocolate candy melts are my preferred truffle coating— they melt smoothly and don’t need to be tempered like regular white chocolate.
