Ingredients

Save

• 1 cup cake mix (any flavor; vanilla is recommended)
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup sprinkles (plus extra for coating)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Optional: 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter for added creaminess (melted)

Tools Needed

• Mixing bowl
• Rubber spatula or wooden spoon
• Baking sheet or plate
• Parchment paper or wax paper
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Refrigerator or freezer for chilling

Suggested Substitutions and Additions

• Swap cake mix flavor for chocolate or red velvet for a different taste experience
• Use almond milk instead of sweetened condensed milk for a dairy-free option
• Replace sprinkles with crushed nuts or coconut for a unique twist
• Add a pinch of cinnamon for warmth and spice
• Drop chocolate chips into the mixture for an extra chocolatey flavor

How to Make

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and powdered sugar. Make sure to stir them together thoroughly so there are no clumps. You’ll feel the delightful sweetness in the air as you start blending—it’s going to be a fun treat!

Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients

Next, pour in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Use your spatula or spoon to mix everything until well combined. You’ll know you’re on the right track when it starts coming together in a sticky dough-like consistency. If you chose to add melted coconut oil or butter, this is the time to mix it in too!

Step 3: Fold in the Sprinkles

Now comes the fun part! Gently fold in the sprinkles. The dough will be vibrant and colorful—an instant pick-me-up to warm your heart, especially when you picture everyone enjoying them.

Step 4: Chill the Mixture

Once infused with joy and color, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for about 30-60 minutes. This step is key, as it helps cool the mixture and makes it easier to roll into truffles. You’ll want it to firm up, making it mild and easy to handle.

Step 5: Roll into Balls

Once the mixture is chilled, take small portions (about a tablespoon each) and roll them into balls using your hands. The texture should be smooth, and the sprinkles will add an extra fun touch to the outside!

Step 6: Coat with Sprinkles

After rolling all your truffles, gently roll them into the extra sprinkles you set aside earlier. Be generous! These bright pops of color make each truffle look appealing and festive—just what you need when sharing with friends!

Step 7: Final Chill

Place the coated truffles back on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Pop them back into the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes to set fully.

What to Serve with Funfetti Cake Batter Truffles with Sprinkles

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Prep the mixture in advance and chill overnight if you want to save time on the day of serving.
• If your mixture seems too sticky to roll, add a bit more cake mix to balance it out.
• Make sure to chill the truffles well before serving to ensure they hold their shape.
• If you want these truffles to last longer, double the batch—you’ll be glad you did when you see how quickly they disappear!
• If you ever run out of sprinkles, crushed cookies or nuts work wonders as a beautiful coating!
