Ingredients

  • 8 oz vanilla pound cake, cubed (You could use any vanilla cake of your choosing. I like pound cake because it’s dense and rich in flavor.)
  • 1⁄2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1⁄2 teaspooon vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • coconut oil for coating scoop
  • 5 ounces candy melts or almond bark

Directions

Line a small pan with parchment paper.

In your food processor, add cake, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream cheese.

Pulse until all ingredients are uniformly mixed.

Coat tablespoon scoop with coconut oil so the dough doesn’t stick.

Use tablespoon scoop to portion out the dough.

Roll gently in your hands to smooth the edges. Makes 16 balls.

Place the balls in the freezer or refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Heat the candy melts according to package directions.

Remove the balls from the freezer, and coat each ball with a light coating of melted candy.

I use forks to roll the balls in the coating and to then let the extra candy drip off.

Place coated balls on parchment paper to cool.

Cover and refrigerate any leftovers.

Enjoy!

  1. Oh how I love cheesecake! Definitely my favourite dessert…sadly I now have a dairy allergy and can’t enjoy them. I love this recipe though for how you mention that you can have just one or two if you’re monitoring calories!
