Description

These Little Debbie Christmas Cake Balls are a fun and festive no-bake treat made with the iconic Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes. They’re easy to make, full of holiday cheer, and perfect for parties or gifting.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (any flavor)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or candy melts
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother coating)
  • Holiday sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cake Mixture:

  1. Crumble the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the softened cream cheese and mix until the mixture becomes smooth and sticky, forming a dough-like consistency.

2. Shape the Cake Balls:

  1. Roll about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into a ball and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Repeat with the remaining mixture. You should get about 12-15 cake balls.
  3. Freeze the cake balls for 20-30 minutes to firm up.

3. Melt the Chocolate:

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
  2. Stir in the coconut oil or vegetable shortening if the chocolate is too thick.

4. Coat the Cake Balls:

  1. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  2. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the cake ball back onto the parchment paper.
  3. Immediately decorate with holiday sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.

5. Chill and Serve:

  1. Place the coated cake balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
  2. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Storage: Store the cake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Freezing: These cake balls can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
  • Flavor Options: Experiment with different flavors of Little Debbie cakes for variety.
  • Decorative Touch: Drizzle with red or green melted candy melts for extra holiday flair.
