Ingredients
  

  • 16.5 oz yellow cake mix
  • 6 oz plain fat-free Greek yogurt recommended: Chobani
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 large egg whites
  • baking spray for coating the baking dish
  • 48 oz Baker's white chocolate to be melted for coating
  • mini chocolate chips for decorating the cake balls

Equipment

  • Cookie Sheet
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Metal fork or skewer

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, Greek yogurt, water, and egg whites. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a baking dish with baking spray, then pour in the batter. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.
  3. Once the cake is cool, crumble it into a large bowl and roll into small balls, about the size of a tablespoon. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for about 30 minutes.
  4. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
  5. Using a wooden skewer, dip each chilled cake ball into the melted white chocolate and place back on the parchment-lined sheet.
  6. Before the chocolate hardens, place two mini chocolate chips on each cake ball for eyes.
  7. Allow the chocolate coating to harden completely at room temperature, or refrigerate for about 15 minutes to speed up the process.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Freeze uncoated cake balls for up to three months, thaw in the fridge before coating.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute almond or coconut yogurt.
