Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
Dairy and Cream Components:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Flavoring and Topping:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Bake the red velvet cake according to package instructions at the recommended temperature. Allow the cake to cool completely to room temperature, approximately 1-2 hours.
- Carefully crumble the cooled cake into fine, uniform pieces within a spacious mixing bowl. Incorporate crushed Oreo cookies, blending thoroughly to create a cohesive mixture.
- Gently shape the cake and cookie blend into compact, uniform 1-inch spheres using clean hands. Arrange the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the cake balls for 30 minutes to ensure firm consistency, which helps maintain shape during coating.
- Whip softened cream cheese and butter in a clean bowl until smooth and creamy, using an electric mixer at medium speed.
- Gradually incorporate powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until the frosting achieves a silky, spreadable texture.
- Delicately immerse each chilled cake ball into the cream cheese frosting, ensuring complete and even coverage. Return coated bites to the parchment-lined sheet.
- Artfully drizzle caramel sauce over the frosted bites, creating an elegant pattern. Sprinkle additional crushed Oreo cookies atop the caramel for enhanced texture and visual appeal.
- Allow the caramel and cookie topping to set at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving or storing.
Notes
- Chill thoroughly to ensure the cake balls hold their shape and create a firm texture for easy coating.
- Use room temperature cream cheese and butter for smoother, lump-free frosting that spreads evenly.
- Add extra crushed Oreos for a delightful crunch and enhanced chocolate flavor in every bite.
- Try gluten-free cake mix and gluten-free Oreos to make this dessert suitable for those with dietary restrictions.
