When he observed me shaping the mixture into small balls, he couldn’t help but sneak one. His eyes lighted up on a bite of the latter. “These are amazing!” he said, grabbing for another.
I’ve been making these truffles ever since and they have been a family favorite ever since. They’re our dessert of choice for movies nights, holiday parties, and just lazy Sundays.

Tips For Carrot Cake Truffles
For the right consistency, your carrot cake crumbs should be fine and mixed well with the frosting. If the batter seems too dry, mix in a little more frosting.
For a more creamy coverage you can use white chocolate of good quality and also add some thawed coconut oil. Nguyen: This will help the chocolate be more workable and make your truffles shiny.
Substitutions and Variations
Substitute dark or milk chocolate for white chocolate for a different flavor. Stir some chopped walnuts or pecans into the cake mixture for extra texture. And for a festive finish, you can drizzle caramel over the truffles, or make it rain with some edible glitter.
Make a Healthier Version
Top with a low-fat cream cheese frosting, or don’t use the frosting at all and mix the cake crumbs with a little Greek yogurt. Find a no sugar added or thinner coating for less calories.
