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?
Think German chocolate cake mix would work?
Yes I’m sure it would be fine!
Hello, i was just wondering if when it says cake mix, is that just the cake mix powder or with the eggs and everything in the cake mix?
Just the dry cake mix straight out of the box – do not add eggs, oil, water. Just the powder.
I made these using vanilla cake mix and strawberry cake mix for a baby shower and they were a huge hit!! Thank you for a delish recipe! One question though…has anyone else had trouble with them cracking when taken out of the freezer? It’s almost like the center expanded as they cooled to room temperature?
The laws of physics are at work – temperature changes equates to expansion and contraction of molecules, i.e. cracking could happen. As things heat up, they expand. And cold they contract.
However, with these, I’ve never had that problem. Just maybe bring them to chill in the fridge next time, rather than all the way to the freezer. May help the minor issue. Glad you liked them!!
Can you use this recipe with red velvet batter
I haven’t tried it but I’m sure it would be just fine.
I found you from the https://williamandkimber.blogspot.com/ link with her brownie batter version of these cake batter truffles.
I LOVE your photos. They are so cute! This looks delicious!! I can’t wait for an excuse to make them!
thanks for finding me!
I can’t get that cake batter mix here…
Do you have any idea how to make these if you don’t have cake batter mix or don’t want to use it?
Thanks!!!
Yes, I’d combine sugar, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt in the same ratios you’d used to make a cake and then use that.
Hello, my name is Elizabeth and I work for a small library in Wyoming. We are currently putting together a recipe book to celebrate ten years of our annual Death By Chocolate fundraising event. I’m collecting pictures for the dividers in the book, and fell in love with the pictures of your No Bake Vanilla Cake Batter Chocolate Truffles. If you would be interested in discussing what it would take for us to use your picture, or just want more information, please contact me by email at evoss@uintalibrary.org. Thank you for your time.
Would love some of these tonight as a bedtime snack!
All that sweat on the chocolate from inappropriate storage or cooling is extremely unappetizing. =/
I keep my chocolate in the refrigerator and when it’s hot out in the summer and I don’t have a/c, and I am taking pictures with lights, it’s only a matter of moments before condensation appears. So sorry you were inconvenienced – and if you have suggestions for how to photograph chocolate when it’s over about 75 degrees, I am all ears. I always want to learn!
Idk whether to love or hate you for this recipe haha they’re so easy to make and their sooo good I wanna try like every cake flavor
LOL! Glad you like them and report back please if you make other flavors and what you like best!
