Step-by-Step Instructions for Carrot Cake Ball Truffles
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a standing mixer, combine granulated sugar, canola oil, and room temperature eggs. Mix on medium speed until smooth.
- Gradually add in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Blend until smooth, avoiding overmixing.
- Gently fold in shredded carrots and pecan chips using a spatula, ensuring even distribution.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-40 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the dish for about 30 minutes, then crumble into fine crumbs.
- Mix cream cheese frosting into the crumbled cake until a dough-like consistency is reached.
- Roll the mixture into smooth balls, placing them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Refrigerate for about 1 hour to help set the truffles before coating.
- Melt the white chocolate melting wafers over a double boiler, stirring gently until smooth.
- Dip each truffle ball into the melted chocolate and let the excess drip off before placing back on the sheet.
- Sprinkle with chopped pecans while the chocolate is still wet, then let set for about 15 minutes.
