These Strawberry Velvet Cheesecake Truffles are a no-bake dessert dream — a strawberry cake mix shell stuffed with creamy cheesecake filling, rolled into bite-sized treats. Easy to make and deliciously indulgent, they’re perfect for parties, Valentine’s Day, or anytime you want a pop of pink sweetness.
For the Truffle Shell:
1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2–3 tbsp milk (as needed for consistency)
For the Cheesecake Filling:
6 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
For Rolling (Optional):
Granulated sugar or white sprinkles
Prepare the Shell Dough:
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, melted butter, and cream cheese.
Add milk 1 tbsp at a time until a soft dough forms. Set aside.
Make Cheesecake Filling:
In another bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Chill for 15 minutes to firm.
Form Cheesecake Centers:
Scoop small balls of cheesecake mixture and place on a parchment-lined tray.
Freeze for 15–20 minutes.
Assemble Truffles:
Flatten 1 tbsp of the strawberry dough in your palm.
Place a cheesecake center in the middle and wrap dough around it to seal.
Roll into a smooth ball.
Finish:
Roll in sugar or sprinkles if desired.
Chill until firm and serve cold.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Use gel food coloring for a deeper pink hue if needed.
You can substitute strawberry cake mix with red velvet or lemon for variation.
