Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 15.25 ounces Funfetti cake mix
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

Coating

  • 8 ounces white almond bark (optional)
  • colorful sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat Treat Cake Mix: Pour the dry 15.25-ounce Funfetti cake mix into a medium-sized heat-safe bowl and microwave in two 30-second intervals, stirring between each. Allow the mixture to cool completely to ensure safety before combining with other ingredients.
  2. Beat Cream Cheese: In a medium bowl, use a handheld mixer on medium-high speed to beat the 8 ounces of softened cream cheese for 2 to 2½ minutes until it becomes completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Cake Mix and Cream Cheese: Gradually sprinkle the cooled dry cake mix over the beaten cream cheese, mixing just until the cake mix is fully incorporated and forms a dough-like consistency.
  4. Chill Mixture: Cover the cream cheese and cake mix mixture tightly and refrigerate for 2 hours to firm up, making it easier to shape into bites.
  5. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to place the cheesecake bites later.
  6. Form Cheesecake Bites: Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out the cheesecake dough and roll each scoop into a smooth ball. Arrange the balls evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Melt Almond Bark: Place 8 ounces of white almond bark in a heat-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
  8. Coat Cheesecake Bites: Roll each cheesecake bite in the melted almond bark to coat fully. Use a fork to lift the bites and gently tap off excess coating. Use a spoon to cover any uncovered spots if needed.
  9. Add Sprinkles: Place the coated cheesecake bites back onto the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle ½ to 1 teaspoon of colorful sprinkles on top of each bite for a festive look.
  10. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the coated and sprinkled cheesecake bites until firm and ready to serve, ensuring the coating sets properly.

Notes

  • Heating the dry cake mix before use is essential for safety since it is not baked in this recipe.

  • Store the cheesecake bites in the refrigerator and consume within 3–4 days for best freshness.
  • You can substitute sprinkles with chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips for a different topping.
