What is a no bake cake ball?

How to Make No Bake Cake Balls
Ingredients:
- ½ c unsalted butter, softened
- ½ c sugar
- 1 c dry cake mix (yellow, white or vanilla)
- ½ c flour
- 1 t vanilla
- ½ t salt
- ¼ c milk
- 2 T colorful sprinkles
- 10 oz white chocolate chips
Directions:
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened butter and sugar. Cream until smooth.
Add in the dry ingredients – flour and dry boxed cake mix. Mix on low speed just until combined – it will be crumbly looking.
Add in the vanilla, salt and milk. Mix on low speed until the mixture combines and a dough forms.
You should be able to press it together and it forms a ball.
Chill the dough for approximately 30 minutes.
When ready to assemble, place the white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30 second increments.
Stir melted chocolate until smooth.
Using a small cookie scoop, scoop 1-inch balls.
Using a spoon, dip each cake ball into the melted white chocolate and tap the excess off into the bowl.
Transfer the dipped cake ball to a sheet of parchment paper.
Before the white chocolate sets, decorate with the rainbow sprinkles.
Allow to set.
Storage: Cake balls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for 3 months.

How long does it take for No Bake cake balls to set?
Typically, after shaping the cake mixture into balls and coating them with chocolate or other toppings, you’ll want to refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow them to firm up. However, for best results, it’s recommended to chill the cake balls in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours or until they are firm to the touch. This will help ensure that the cake balls hold their shape and are ready to be enjoyed!
