Ingredients

14 oz angel food cake the round kind
¾ cup whipping cream
3 oz cream cheese softened
¾ cup powdered sugar
¾ tsp vanilla extract
1 lb strawberries diced in very small pieces
1 lb white chocolate

Instructions

Prep: Get the strawberries washed, de-stemmed and diced into small pieces, set aside. Then, line a baking sheet with wax paper. Use a baking sheet or dish that fits in your freezer, that is where it will end up.
Mix: Start by using your hands to crumble up the angel food cake as much as you can and place the crumbles in a large bowl. Angel food cake doesn't crumble quite as well as regular cakes, but don't worry about the larger pieces, just do the best you can. Set the cake crumbs aside and mix up the frosting.
Next, in a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Then, add in the softened cream cheese, powder sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix again until all ingredients are fully combined.
After that, add the frosting mixture to the crumbled cake pieces and use the electric mixer to combine again. Using the mixer will help to finish the crumbling of the cake into finer crumbs. Then, fold in the diced strawberries with a spoon.
Assemble truffle balls: Proceed to roll the cake mixture into 1" balls and place on the prepared baking sheet covered in waxed paper. Place the dish in the freezer for about an hour to chill before dipping in the chocolate coating.
Chocolate coat: In a small bowl, melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between each interval, just until chocolate is smooth and completely melted. Then, dip each cake ball in the chocolate and place back on the waxed paper to set. Place the chocolate covered truffles back in the refrigerator to set for about 20-30 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
