Homemade Carrot Cake Truffles

Homemade Carrot Cake Truffles have all the flavor of carrot cake packed into a bite-sized truffle. A fun way to celebrate any party!

Homemade Carrot Cake Truffles are moist and sweet! So worth these making homemade instead of with a cake mix. not that I have never taken that shortcut but from scratch is so much better if you can swing it. 

This carrot cake truffle has the perfect texture. It’s just moist enough without being super mushy and it’s not dry. We have had and made some truffle that have just not had the right texture. Carrot cake truffle have a sweet, slightly spicy carrot cake center. Perfect any time of year. These are great for Easter or even for the Fall since they do have that spice to them. 

PIN IT!!

These carrot cake truffles would be a festive addition to any dinner party, potluck or celebration. Sometimes when we are going to a gathering I prefer bringing a dessert you can pick up with your fingers easily rather than a slice of cake. It’s so much easier. 

These carrot cake truffles are like cake pops on steroids! So moist and dense and rich with flavor and spice. You can see how delicious this truffle looks so imagine how delectable it tastes!! 

Homemade Carrot Cake Truffles are very easy to make. First you make the cake. The cake will create the base for the truffle filling. Once the cake bakes and cools you will  crumble the cake up into a million crumbs.

Then you will mix the crumbled carrot cake with some cream cheese frosting. That is how you will get that rich, creamy deliciousness of the carrot cake truffle filling.  Once you get the right consistency ( sort of like a cookie dough ) your going to roll out little balls then place into the fridge for 1 hour to harden.

Once the hour is up, remove from fridge. Using a double boiler, melt the white chocolate melting wafers. Once melted, using a fork, dip the cake ball into the melted chocolate and chopped pecans.
