Description
Easy, no-bake Cake Batter Bites, made with yellow cake mix, cream cheese, and butter. A quick, family-friendly dessert perfect for busy nights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box yellow cake mix (approx. 15.25 oz / 432g)
- 8 oz / 226g cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup / 113g unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups / 180g powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup + more for rolling sprinkles
Instructions
- Beat Cream Cheese & Butter: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until wonderfully smooth and creamy. A sturdy spoon works great if you don’t want to pull out a mixer!
- Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until it’s fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth. This helps prevent lumps.
- Fold in Cake Mix: Fold in the dry yellow cake mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; overmixing can sometimes make the dough a bit tough.
- Stir in Sprinkles: Stir in the 1/4 cup of sprinkles. This is where the fun really begins for our Cake Batter Bites!
- Chill Dough: Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. This step is crucial to prevent sticky dough and help your Cake Batter Bites hold their perfect shape.
- Roll Bites: Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Using a mini ice cream scoop can help you achieve uniform size and keep things less messy.
- Roll in Sprinkles: Roll each Cake Batter Bite in extra sprinkles for a truly festive and inviting finish.
- Store: Store your ready-to-eat no-bake treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve these delightful Cake Batter Bites. They are perfect for family dinners or a quick sweet snack.
Notes
Nutritional values are estimates. For a vegan option, use dairy-free cream cheese and butter alternatives. Use certified gluten-free cake mix for a gluten-free treat. Reduce powdered sugar by about 1/4 cup for a less sweet taste. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
