Biscoff Cookie Butter Cake Balls
Fun to make and tasty, these Biscoff Cookie Butter Cake Balls are the perfect 2-bite snack! Not too sweet, get the kids involved in making these!
Ingredients
- 1 box vanilla cake mix prepared according to the package directions and cooled
- ½ cup Biscoff cookie butter
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk as needed
- 2 cups white candy coating about 1 package
- 1/4 cup brown/chocolate candy coating
- 2 Biscoff cookies crushed
Instructions
- Crumble the cooled vanilla cake into a large bowl until no large chunks remain. I love using my electric hand mixer for this. It makes short work of the cake!
- Make the frosting by whipping the cookie butter and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer or with your hand mixer.
- Whip in the vanilla extract, then turn the speed to low and mix in the powdered sugar until combined. Add a spoonful of milk at a time until the frosting is smooth and easily spreadable.
- Add about half the frosting to the crumbled cake and mix. Add enough frosting, a bit more at a time, until you can form balls that stay together.
- Roll the mixture into small balls about the size of a ping-pong ball, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the cake balls in the freezer for at least 2 hours to firm up.
- Melt the white candy coating according to package instructions, ensuring it's smooth and fluid. If it’s too thick you can add a tablespoon of coconut oil.
- Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted white candy coating using a fork, letting the excess drip off.
- Place the coated balls back onto the parchment paper and let them set up.
- Melt the brown/chocolate candy coating and transfer it to a zipper-top bag with one corner cut off. Drizzle it over the cake balls, then top it with the crushed cookies while still wet.
- Allow the cake balls to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- To ensure evenly sized balls, use a cookie scoop to measure out the cake mixture.
- If the candy coating becomes too thick, add a bit of coconut oil or vegetable oil to thin it for easier dipping.
- For a festive touch, use themed sprinkles or different colors of candy coatings, depending on the occasion.
- Cake balls can be made in advance and are a great way to use up leftover cake.
