- 170 g cream cheese, room temperature
- 85 g butter, room temperature
- 360 g confectioners’ sugar
- 340 g white or milk chocolate (for dipping)
Instructions
- Bake the cake – Prepare pumpkin cake from scratch or using a mix, bake in a 9×13 inch pan, and let it cool completely.
- Make the frosting – Beat cream cheese, butter, and confectioners’ sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Crumble the cake – Cut cake into pieces, then crumble into fine crumbs with no lumps.
- Combine – Mix crumbs with frosting until a moist dough forms.
- Shape – Roll mixture into 1½-inch balls, place on parchment-lined tray, cover, and freeze for 10–15 minutes until firm.
- Melt the chocolate – In a microwave or double boiler, melt chocolate until smooth.
- Dip – Using a fork or toothpick, dip each cake ball in chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place back on parchment.
