Ingredients
Scale
Cake Base
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
Vanilla Pudding Filling
- 1 (3.25 oz) package instant vanilla pudding
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup milk
Chocolate Topping
- 2 tbsp semi-sweet baking chips
- 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, and softened butter. Mix until well combined and smooth, forming the cake batter.
- Bake the Cake Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place small mounds of the batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Make the Vanilla Pudding Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, heavy whipping cream, and milk until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy. Chill for at least 15 minutes to set properly.
- Assemble the Cookie Bites: Once the cookies are cooled, carefully slice each cookie in half horizontally. Spread a generous layer of the vanilla pudding filling on the bottom half, then place the top half back on.
- Prepare the Chocolate Ganache Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet baking chips and heavy whipping cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between, until the chocolate is melted and the ganache is smooth.
- Top the Cookie Bites: Spoon or drizzle the chocolate ganache over the top of each cookie bite. Allow the chocolate to set before serving, or refrigerate briefly to speed up the process.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature butter for the cake batter to ensure a smooth mixture.
- Chilling the pudding filling helps it to firm up and be easier to spread.
- You can substitute semi-sweet baking chips with dark or milk chocolate chips according to your preference.
- Store cookie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Allow chocolate ganache to come to room temperature before reheating gently if needed.
