  2. Allow it to cool completely, then break it into pieces and pour the crumbs into a large mixing bowl. (pictured above)
  3. Use a hand or a stand mixer to combine the cake crumbs and the softened cream cheese. (pictured above) Mix until well combined.
  4. Roll the mixture into 30-36 truffles (each truffle should be 1-2 inches in diameter). Place the truffles on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Freeze the truffles for 10-20 minutes.
