Ingredients

1 cup birthday cake mix (dry)

1 cup soft cream cheese (room temperature)

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles (plus more for coating)

1 cup white chocolate chips (for coating)

1 tsp coconut oil (for smooth melting)

Instructions

Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the birthday cake mix, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.

Add Sprinkles: Gently fold in 1/2 cup of rainbow sprinkles into the mixture. This will give your truffles that fun, festive look.

Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will firm up the mixture, making it easier to scoop.

Shape the Truffles: Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to shape the mixture into small balls, roughly 1 inch in diameter. Place the formed balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Chill Again: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to set the truffles further.

Melt the Chocolate: While the truffles are chilling, microwave the white chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.

Coat the Truffles: Remove the truffles from the refrigerator. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate using a fork, allowing the excess to drip off. Carefully place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Add Extra Sprinkles: While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle additional rainbow sprinkles on top of each truffle for a festive touch.

Set the Coating: Allow the coated truffles to sit for about 15-20 minutes at room temperature or place them back in the fridge to set the chocolate.

Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has hardened, your No-Bake Birthday Cake Truffles are ready to be enjoyed! Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
