    These scrumptious, alcoholic cake balls require minimal baking on a hot summer’s day. They are also a perfect treat for special holidays like Valentine's Day, Galentine's Day or a romantic date night!

    Besides champagne, you can also sip on strawberry juice or fresh strawberry milk while you eat this strawberry treat, for a non-alcoholic option.

    🍓Ingredients

    • fresh strawberries - Some of the strawberries will be blended with the champagne to give it strawberry flavor and some will simply be diced for chunks of strawberries in the cake balls.
    • champagne - Pick your favorite.
    • 1 box vanilla cake mix - I use a 15.2 ounces/432 grams box. I also make these cake pops with cake mix that you might want to try.
    • vegetable oil - Can substitute with canola oil or avocado oil.
    • eggs - I use large eggs.
    • white chocolate - To coat the cake balls with.
    • a few drops of pink food coloring - This is optional if you want to color the chocolate coating and/or the batter.

    *Check recipe card for ingredient amounts.

    🍽Equipment

    For this recipe, you will need a cake pop maker. Browse cake pop maker reviews here.

    🥣How to Make Them

    Making cake pops or cake balls can sometimes be quite challenging. However, once you are introduced to the cake pop maker, you will see what a breeze it can be compared to making them by hand; and that uniform shape of each cake ball is a bonus.

    1. Pulse. Pulse the ½ cup chopped strawberries with the champagne a couple of times in the blender, until just combined. If needed, top it up with some more champagne to equal 1 cup liquid. The idea is to replace the liquids that your cake mix requires (usually 1 cup water or milk) for the champagne and strawberry mixture.
    2. Prepare batter. Prepare the cake batter by combining the cake mix, oil, eggs, strawberry champagne mixture and diced strawberries. Plug in the cake pop maker to preheat it. There should be an indicator light to tell you when it's ready – mine takes only a few minutes.
    3. Bake. Fill the cake pop maker cavities with the batter (fill them just below the top). Do this step quickly because the batter will start baking and puffing up. Close the lid and bake them in the cake pop maker for 3-4 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
    4. Melt chocolate. Prepare a double boiler by placing a metal bowl over a pot with simmering water. Melt the white chocolate in the metal bowl. Mix in a few drops of the pink or red food coloring (optional).
    5. Coat cake balls. Coat the cake balls with the melted white chocolate by dipping them in with a fork. Let them set at room temperature on wax paper until hardened.
    6. Serve. Serve with a glass of champagne if desired.

    ✔️Joss' Tips

    • When it comes to dipping the cake balls into melted chocolate or other coatings, be quick. Roll them around until they are completely covered.
    • You can also use a chocolate dipping tool to coat the cake balls.
    • If the melted chocolate is too thick to coat the cake balls properly: you can thin it out by mixing in some canola oil or coconut oil, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it reaches the right consistency.
    • If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted.

    🌡️Storage

    These cake balls can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.

    Because of the use of freshly diced strawberries, I don't recommend keeping them at room temperature.
