…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?
-salutes- I will inform you of the outcome.
ok lmk :)
I love truffles, but I’m definitely more of a cookie dough fan than a cake batter fan. I think your next dessert should be something with carrots to ring in Spring! Maybe some form of carrot cake bites? Hmmm…

handled.
those look DELICIOUS!!!
I love your food porn! They looks so vibrant I can almost taste them
thanks b/c i know you are a photography buff and i am trying to make my pics better :)
oh man! Those truffles look sooo amazing!!!
oh gawd, those sound so good! Even though I don’t have any taste buds at the moment, I’d still eat a dozen of those. :lol:
Ouch! I missed your post on your fall. I can’t believe that woman with the alcohol.. I think I would have been totally phased too.
Best thing I did this weekend: I pushed myself to get to the gym for my Saturday SBR (swim, bike, run) even though I had a billion things to catch up on – client files, emails, blog pictures, recipes, and posts… I dropped it all and gave myself 3 hours at the gym. I’m so happy I did it.
I read this post in bed this morning and my eyes widened… brilliant! I love cake batter!
Hmmm… next dessert you should do… something with vegan ice cream… and cookies? oh oh crushed up cookies with ice cream “icing”!
Those look ridiculously good. Like, scary, good. I am gluten/dairy sensitive, so sadly I will not be able to enjoy them…though I could probably figure out a modification…
I love your blog – I was subscribed to it when I had my blog on blogger, but then I moved over to wordpress and lost touch for awhile!
you could use GF cake mix
and use homemade nut milk that you make very thick, i.e. cashew or hemp seed, OR use coconut milk perhaps, as long as you sweeten it all w/ agave
omg, yum, I wonder how these would be with brownie mix?
oh i bet wonderful!
Pretty good with brownie mix. Felt a smidge gritty perhaps. I needed to add a smidge more Of the milk and then a little powder again because too much milk came out. Only used a little over a 1/4 cup of the milk.
Husband approved for making them again :-) just need to figure out how to dip them prettier. Maybe I should turn them into pops?
I think brownie mix is grittier than cake mix, i.e. cocoa powder vs. cake flour – but sounds like a winner!
Best thing I did this weekend: Pack up some free supplies for the paintball field. Woo-hoo!
Amazingly, I’m not a big fan of truffles or cake batter.
Glad you are feeling better.
Averie these look so good, I wish I could make them! I was on vacation for the past week and totally missed reading your blogs every day! Im excited to catch up :)
This looks amazing – I can’t wait to try this one! I loved your Oreo truffle recipe too! :)
These look amazing! I immediately thought to ask if full fat coconut milk could replace the condensed milk, but it seems like it can :) I really want to make them!
just make sure it’s THICK enough and sweet enough so the cake batter 1. holds/sticks together and 2. is sweet enough. :)
Haha…nothing is too rich for me either :-) These look great!!
How can you go wrong with these? LOVE the recipe. LOVE.
Love the new dishes & linens!
