The flavorful bite of carrot, the cream cheese frosting, cakey texture! Umm... SOO GOOD. It's so much carrot and so little of everything else.

So, how to make these Carrot Cake Truffles?
Well, we start by making a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Once our cake is ready and our frosting is done. We crumble the cake and make small carrot cake balls. We use a little cream cheese frosting for the balls to stick to each other.
Sometimes it is so dry that it will not form a proper ball. So we use some more cream cheese and make a perfect ball. Don't use too much cream cheese frosting to make a wet cake ball. We refrigerate our cake balls for about an hour or two in the fridge.
We melt white chocolate or white candy melts in a non-stick pan or in a microwave oven. We coat our cake balls in white chocolate.
Now we will keep this in the fridge for some more time so that the white chocolate coating is well set. In a separate bowl, we melt orange candy melts and use a piping bag or spoon to drizzle it over our white chocolate coated carrot cake truffles.
Yes! It's just that easy.
