Red Velvet Cheesecake Bites Ingredients

Substitutions And Additions

COATING: You could also roll the mini red velvet cheesecake cake balls in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, graham cracker crumbs, crushed Oreos, or colorful sprinkles.

RED VELVET CAKE MIX: If you don’t have a red velvet cake mix on hand, you can use a chocolate cake mix instead.

While it won’t have a distinctive red color, it will still provide a rich and chocolaty flavor that pairs wonderfully with the cream cheese.

RED CANDY MELTS: If you want to switch up the garnish, consider using colored sprinkles or crushed nuts for added texture and flavor.

These alternatives will provide a unique twist without changing the overall taste of the bites.

How To Make This Red Velvet Cheesecake Bites Recipe

These cake balls will come together in no time, especially since there are only four ingredients to make them!

STEP ONE: It is important to heat treat the dry cake mix before adding it to the cream cheese.

Add the dry cake mix into a medium-sized heat-safe bowl. Microwave the dry cake mix in two 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval.

Allow the cake mix to completely cool before mixing it into the cream cheese.

STEP TWO: Beat the cream cheese for 1½ to 2 minutes until completely smooth.

Use a medium-sized mixing bowl and an electric mixer on medium-high speed.

STEP THREE: Sprinkle the cooled, dry red velvet cake mix over the top of the cream cheese. Continue mixing just until well incorporated.

STEP FOUR: Tightly cover the cheesecake dough and chill in the refrigerator for two hours.

STEP FIVE: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

STEP SIX: Use a one-tablespoon cookie scoop and scoop one tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture.

Roll the dough into a ball and set it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the steps.

STEP SEVEN: Using a heat-safe medium-sized mixing bowl, add the white almond bark and microwave in 30-second intervals.

Stir well after each interval until completely melted and smooth.

STEP EIGHT: Roll the cheesecake balls in the melted almond bark. Place the coated bite onto a fork and gently tap to remove any excess coating.

You can use a spoon to pour the coating over any bare spots. Use a toothpick to gently push the coated bite onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process.
