Prep Time 25 minutes
Chilling Time 30 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Servings 20 cake balls

Ingredients
  

For the Cake Balls:

  • 2 cups crumbled carrot cake from homemade or store-bought
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened

Optional Coatings:

  • 8 oz white chocolate melted
  • Crushed pecans or walnuts
  • Shredded coconut

Instructions
 

  • Crumble the carrot cake into a large bowl, removing any hard edges or dry pieces.
  • Add softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly until you get a soft, dough-like consistency.
  • Scoop and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
  • Chill the balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Dip the chilled cake balls in melted white chocolate or roll in nuts or coconut. Place back on the tray.
  • Chill again until set, about 10–15 minutes.

Notes

  • Make sure your carrot cake is moist—dry cake won't bind well.
  • Don’t overdo the cream cheese or the mix may become too soft to hold its shape.
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform size.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
