Delicious Red Velvet Truffle Cups

These red velvet truffle cups feature a luscious cream cheese filling layered with crumbled red velvet cake, all nestled in a chocolate cup. This recipe yields about 12 servings and takes approximately 1 hour to prepare, plus chilling time.

Ingredients

• 1 cup red velvet cake crumbs (from baked cake)
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chocolate chips (for cups)
• 1/4 cup heavy cream (for ganache)
• Sprinkles or cocoa powder for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare Chocolate Cups: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth. Using a spoon, coat the inside of mini muffin liners with melted chocolate. Let them set in the fridge until firm.
2. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake crumbs, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and smooth.
3. Assemble the Truffle Cups: Once the chocolate cups are set, fill each cup with the red velvet filling, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
4. Prepare Ganache: Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour it over the remaining melted chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
5. Top with Ganache: Drizzle the ganache over each filled truffle cup and sprinkle with desired toppings like sprinkles or cocoa powder.
6. Chill: Place the assembled truffle cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set before serving.
