If you like:

…Then this one’s for you.
And if you don’t like those things, you’re reading the wrong blog.
The Process:
Stir all ingredients together except for chocolate chips. This is what my dough looked like, and then I put it in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Remove Dough from freezer & Roll into balls
I recommend rolling these balls much smaller than you think they should be because once you dip them in chocolate, they almost double in size. The end result should be a truffle and bite-sized. You don’t necessarily want to be biting into a golf ball sized truffle. So start with small balls.
Dip balls into melted chocolate and allow to set up in freezer.
Try not to eat them all at once.
They satisfy the craving for cake batter and chocolate, all in one.
Nothing is “too rich” for me.
These are not too rich but they are definitely rich. Sugar and fat has that effect, and boy, it’s wonderful.
Impress your friends with these. No wait, just impress yourself by making them.
You’ll be happy you did.

No-Bake Vanilla Cake Batter Chocolate Truffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup vanilla cake mix
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp agave, optional and you can just use all sweetened condensed milk if you don’t have agave
- 1 ½ to 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients, except chocolate chips, and stir to combine.
- This mixture should be quite solid and not runny, but not so dry that you can’t mold it into balls. If you find that your mixture is a little too runny, add a touch more cake mix. If it’s a little too dry, add more sweetened condensed milk/agave. I ended up using about 1 1/4 cups cake mix to get the perfect consistency.
- After you’ve made the dough, refrigerate or freeze for 15 minutes and then remove and roll into balls.
- After the balls have been made, refrigerate or freeze for 15 minutes minutes or until well-chilled, ensuring the melted chocolate will adhere and set up properly.
- Melt the chocolate chips, and dip the chilled cake batter balls into melted chocolate. Using parchment paper is a tip I’d recommend when working with melted chocolate. Place truffles in freezer or fridge to set up. Truffles will keep airtight in the refrigerator or freezer for many months.
- Use GF cake mix to make this recipe Gluten Free.
- For those avoiding traditional sweetened condensed milk, use homemade nut/seed milk such as cashew or hemp that you make very thick and sweeten with agave. Full fat coconut milk, sweetened with agave, may also work There are also recipes for vegan sweetened condensed milk floating around. Make sure that the “milk” you use is thick enough so the cake batter sticks/holds together and is sweet enough to replicate traditional sweetened condensed milk.

What’s your favorite kind of truffle?
OMG!
These look amazing!
I wish I liked truffles…
Hahaha ;)
Gah, I wish I was in the States! My sister’s birthday is coming up and she’d LOVE these.
Best think I ate all weekend was a slice of Peanut Butter Cup Cake from my favorite vegan restaurant in London, Inspiral Lounge. NOM. Second best thing was some Indian curried salmon I made
Oooh, potential new Averie projects. Can I be super selfish for a minute? I have a lot of coconut flakes on hand that I want to get rid of. Normally I’d just make your snowballs…but I’m out of cocoa powder and don’t fancy buying any more. And non-choccie ideas that feature coconut?
make coconut butter with them!
Would it work with a pretty average blender?
you are so amazing!! Those balls look soooo good and I’m definitely making them ASAP. Your oreo balls went over so well with my friends that they are still talking about them after I made them in January… And I’ve made them twice since then, too!
I can’t wait to make these for my friends as well.
As for a recipe I’d like to see you make… how about a vegan tiramisu!? I looooove tiramisu :) I make a “cheaters” version that involves twinkies, coffee ice cream, and kahlua…but I want something a little “healthier” haha
tiramisu…yum! Glad your friends liked the oreo balls! Twice :)
These look awesome, Averie. For those who are curious . . .
Here’s a recipe for vegan sweetened, condensed milk. It looks easy and fast:
https://www.food.com/recipe/vegan-sweetened-condensed-milk-414066
I’m sure you could sub any non-dairy milk for the soy. I’m partial to coconut milk or almond milk myself.
good info
So sorry to hear of your fall! Hope you heal quick, I bet you will. (I love that you blog 2x per day btw, you are my go-to blog when I’m chillin. I read it every morning and evening)!
Best I’ve eaten this weekend is TJ’s sun dried tomato pesto, and played Monopoly w/ my kids and mom.
I love all things sweet, but have an ongoing sinus mystery (chronic debilitating sinusitis, eeek) and seems that avoiding sugar completely (even fruit) is the only thing that stops it. UGH. Anyone know of a foodie blog that includes tons of no sugar items & creative ways to use stuff like stevia?
Pam- Averies recipes are amazing but sugar free they are not. You can check out the Pure2raw twins or Diet Dessert and Dogs for lots of sugar free recipes as they are both doing candida cleanses of no sugar, just do a quick google search for the blog titles and they should come up.
I also have a section of stevia based recipes here
https://www.loveveggiesandyoga.com/2010/09/give-away-wins-stevia-recipes-surprises.html
many of the raw blogs or raw/GF blogs are worth a try b/c of stevia based desserts.
Thanks guys, I will check out all your suggestions!
What a fun dessert! I love cake batter, chocolate & truffles. Imagine that ;) They look SO yummy. Will def make them for my next dinner party. For me, a dessert recipe needs to be easy and this one sounds like something I could do!
It’s been dreary and grey here too :l I was SO EXCITED about our 80 degree weather…. Boo.
Ps I’m sipping on my new favorite coffee bc of your reccomendation. TJ’s Bay Blend is SO YUMMY. I love the subtle sweetness that it has… I don’t even need to add sweetener. I also tried Sumatra, but my heart stays with the Bay Blend.
Oh. My. Yum!!!! These look delicious. Although I’m not a huge fan of truffles – only because they disappear too quickly!! :)
I have been drooling over all of your caramel recipes lately. I actually made your raw vegan caramels yesterday and I keep having to check to make sure my husband hasn’t eaten them all!
I planned on making a chocolate cake today, looks like I’ll have to reserve some of it for these amazing truffles! =)
Oh my gosh, look at that. Looks sooo delicious!! I want to eat my screen :D
I love cake batter anything.
I’d love to see more mango recipes!
These LOOK pretty too! I will be trying these with gf cake mix, yummmyyy! The best thing I ate was shrimp tacos, the only kind of seafood I like and they sure were good. Have a fab Sunday!
Your photos are wonderful! I love the splash of color.
I cover to chocolate-cover things, and I’ve recently wanted to try a recipe using graham crackers. Any ideas???
what a great idea!! I think that coconut milk would work for the condensed milk too!??!
Yum, the recipe looks great and so simple. Again, wonderful pics too! :-)
1. Probably saw a movie with hubby, Source Code – totally worth seeing in theaters.
2. Yes, but lately I’m only been sticking to raw vegan desserts because they’re simple to make with whole ingredients and minimal time. But this one looks great and makes me want to try a new raw ball recipe.
3. Something with raw caramel, yum!
hey averie!
i’m sending positive thoughts your way for a healthy recovery. (sports) injuries just plan suck!
best thing about this weekend (it’s a tie!)
– spring is FINALLY here: it’s been blue skies, sunny and +10C yesterday and also today.
– we are DOG SITTING an adorable scottie-westie mix name Henry and he is such a joy to have around
the beautiful weather means that we’re outside a heck of a lot and Henry’s getting lots and lots of walking!
i’m not much of a sweets person, but do enjoy them. truffles are super decadent for me!
i would love to see some vegan, gf cupcakes from you. cupcakes are generally the opposite of easy, quick and no-bake, so I won’t be upset if you pass on making them. *wink*
have a great sunday!
xo
Ok I love cake batter and raw cookie dough and all that stuff. And I bet these taste so good because of the sweetened condensed milk! That stuff is pure sugar in a can :)
The one time I made cake balls I made them waaaay too big, so good tip on making them smaller since they do double in size. Plus, then you can eat more of them!
Best thing I ate — we went out for drinks last night and had an amazing Lobster Pizza appetizer — it was delicious!
Lobster Pizza appetizer sounds awesome. I used to LOVE lobster. Allergic now but I wish I wasnt!
