Coated with a vibrant green chocolate shell, they perfectly mimic the look and taste of watermelon, making them a fun and refreshing dessert for parties or summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Base

  • 2 cups (236ml) whipping cream
  • 1 ½ cups (204g) cake mix
  • 1 cup (100g) graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup (80g) chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (200g) white chocolate
  • 1 tsp (5ml) pink food coloring
  • 1 tsp (5ml) watermelon flavoring oil

Coating

  • 1 tsp (5ml) green food coloring
  • 1 tsp (5ml) coconut oil
  • Additional white chocolate for melting and coating (approximately ½ cup / 100g)

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the heavy whipping cream and two-thirds of the white chocolate. Stir occasionally until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Add Cake Mix and Flavoring: Remove from heat and add the cake mix along with the pink food coloring. Stir well to fully combine, then mix in the watermelon flavoring oil. Allow the mixture to cool until it is comfortable to touch.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Form Truffles: Using your hands, scoop portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms to form smooth balls. Place these balls onto a lined plate or baking sheet.
  5. Chill Truffles: Place the formed truffles in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Prepare Chocolate Coating: Melt the remaining white chocolate until smooth and creamy. Stir in the coconut oil and then remove from heat. Add the green food coloring and mix until the color is uniform.
  7. Dip Truffles: Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle ball into the green chocolate coating, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Carefully place coated truffles back onto a lined plate.
  8. Set Coating: Refrigerate the coated truffles for about 20 minutes or until the green chocolate coating is fully hardened.
  9. Serve: Once set, serve your watermelon truffles chilled and enjoy this refreshing, sweet treat.

Notes

  • If watermelon flavoring oil is unavailable, a small amount of natural watermelon extract or syrup can be substituted.
  • Ensure the truffle mixture is cool enough before rolling to prevent sticking or melting in your hands.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Use good quality white chocolate for a smoother coating and better flavor.
  • Adjust food coloring amounts to achieve desired pink and green hues.
