Fun Dessert


A few weeks ago we made fun little desserts at mutual, so I made them for Rylan's open house and they were very well received. So much so, I'm gonna share the 'recipe' with ya'll. I will mention this takes a lot more time and a bit more money than just buying some fun little goody from Trader Joe's or Cosco or whatever, but sometimes its just fun to make homemade stuff:

1. Bake a cake, let cool

2. Crumble cake in mixing bowl

3. Mix crumbled cake with a tub of pre-made frosting (may not want to put the ENTIRE tub in though. It makes it a bit more rich if you do)

4. Roll mixture into little balls and freeze for an hour or so.

5. Melt chocolate chips or topping of choice and pour onto frozen cakeballs

6. Keep refrigerated until serving


The best part about these is that you can make a whole bunch of varieties. I have tried lemon cake mixed with vanilla frosting, topped with white chocolate. At mutual we had white cake with strawberry frosting topped with white chocolate. At Rylan's party I did vanilla cake with chocolate frosting covered in white chocolate and oreo crumbles. The ones pictured above are the vanilla cake with chocolate frosting covered in melted peanut butter chips and Andes Mints. Ironically I kind of like the peanut butter ones the best. I can't wait to try German Chocolate cake with the coconut pecan frsoting!! Yum!!

Umm ... is it possible to taste something through a computer? Cuz those look so good I almost feel like I can taste them through the interwebs!
