Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package classy chocolate pound cake mix
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
Supplemental Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 large egg
- 1 packet berry blasttm cheese ball mix
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese with Berry Blast Cheese Ball Mix until thoroughly incorporated, creating a smooth and uniform mixture.
- Transfer the cream cheese blend into a piping bag or freezer bag, then refrigerate to maintain consistency.
- Heat oven to 350F (175C), preparing a 9×5-inch loaf pan with grease to prevent sticking.
- Combine Classy Chocolate Pound Cake Mix with water, melted butter, and egg in a large mixing bowl, stirring gently until just blended – some lumps are acceptable.
- Pour cake batter into the prepared loaf pan, ensuring even distribution.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should emerge clean when the cake is fully cooked.
- Allow cake to cool completely at room temperature, which helps maintain its structural integrity.
- Remove cream cheese mixture from refrigerator and let it soften for approximately 20 minutes.
- Slice the cooled cake into uniform 1-inch cubes using a sharp knife.
- Knead the piping bag to soften the cream cheese mixture and create a smooth consistency.
- Snip a small corner of the bag to create a piping opening.
- Pipe cream cheese mixture onto each cake cube, creating an elegant and tasty bite-sized dessert.
- Arrange Chocolate Berry Bites on a serving platter, ready to be enjoyed as a delightful treat.
Notes
- Swap out regular cream cheese for a dairy-free alternative like cashew or coconut cream to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
- Try different cheese ball mix flavors to create unique taste combinations that complement the chocolate cake base.
- Use silicone molds instead of a loaf pan for more uniform and decorative cake cubes that are easier to cut and serve.
- Store these bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify.
