Zebra Cake Balls
Zebra cakes was one of my favorite sweet treats as a kid and turning them into Zebra cake balls made them even better! This Zebra Cake Balls recipe is absolutely mouth-watering. So creamy with a crunch of chocolate on the outside. These were so incredibly easy to make and so fun! Only 4 ingredients for this yummy dessert.
Ingredients
- 16 zebra cakes
- 4 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 24 oz bar of vanilla almond bark
- 1/3 cup chocolate melting wafers
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, break up the zebra cakes in chunks and add them to the bowl, add the softened cream cheese and using a hand mixer beat until the cakes become crumbs and it’s creamy.
- Line a tray with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop, scoop out the cake mixture and roll into balls and set on the tray. (About 3 tbsp worth)
- Repeat until you have no more mixture left.
- Freeze for 30 minutes. Once they have frozen melt the vanilla almond bark in a microwave safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds.
- Using two forks dip the balls one at a time and place back on the parchment paper tray. Make sure to scrape off the excess almond bark on the bottom.
- Repeat until all the balls are coated in the vanilla almond bark. In another small microwaveable bowl add the chocolate wafers and melt, stirring every 30 seconds.
- Add to a zip lock bag and snip a small piece of the end off. Drizzle zebra marks all over the tops of the balls. Enjoy!
Notes
Tips and tricks:
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- You may need to add 1 tsp of oil to the chocolate wafers when melting if the chocolate isn’t coming out smooth.
- Make sure the almond bark is hard on the cake balls before drizzling the chocolate over top.
- You must freeze these before dipping so it comes out clean with no crumbs when you dip, it also allows the almond bark to harden almost immediately.
