HOW TO MAKE these grinch truffles

Step 1

Make the box cake batter following the instructions on the back of the box of the cake mix. 

STEP 2

Lightly grease your springform cake pan with cooking spray. Pour in your cake mix and cover with aluminium foil.

STEP 3

Place 1 1/2 cups of water. Place the trivet inside the inner pot. Place your cake pan inside your inner pot on the trivet. 

STEP 4

Set your Instant Pot to high pressure for 50 minutes. Once the time is up, do a manual release. This will prevent the cake from overcooking.

STEP 5

Remove the cake pan and transfer to a cooling rack. Allow the cake to completely cool. Once your cake has completely cooled, place it in a large bowl, and crumble. Add in your frosting to the cake. Mix well. 

STEP 6

Using a cookie scoop, or a small spoon, grab a small amount of the cake mix. Roll the cake mix between the palm of your hands to form a ball. Place on a cookie sheet with parchment paper, and place in the freezer for 15 minutes.

STEP 7

In a medium-sized bowl, melt your baking chocolate in the microwave for 30-second intervals until completely melted. Add in your green food coloring until the desired color. 

STEP 8

Remove your cake balls from the freezer. Dip each ball in your green chocolate. Coat completely, and transfer to a parchment paper to allow the chocolate to harden.

Immediately place one heart sprinkle on the top of each truffle before the chocolate hardens. Once the chocolate has hardened- Enjoy!
