Easy Oven Strawberry Shortcake Truffles


  • Author: Nora Winslow
  • Total Time: 28 minutes
  • Yield: 20 truffles 1x

Description

Tender, moist little bites packed with fresh strawberry flavor and a texture that’s just the right balance between cakey and creamy. A fuss-free, crowd-pleasing treat made with a simple oven-baked method.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped (about 150g)
  • 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz / 432g)
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 397g)
  • 1/4 cup milk (60ml), whole milk preferred
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (about 1/2 cup / 60g) – optional
  • Optional add-ins:
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (90g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Finely chop fresh strawberries and measure out all ingredients.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix and chopped strawberries.
  4. Add sweetened condensed milk, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let truffles cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.

Notes

[‘Do not skip the sweetened condensed milk for moisture and tenderness.’, ‘Chop strawberries finely to avoid soggy batter and uneven baking.’, ‘Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.’, ‘Watch baking time closely; overbaking dries out the truffles.’, ‘Let truffles cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar to avoid melting.’, ‘If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain excess juice, and reduce milk slightly.’, ‘For less spreading, chill the batter or baking sheet before baking.’, ‘Try adding lemon zest or white chocolate chips for flavor variations.’, ‘Gluten-free option: use gluten-free yellow cake mix and adjust moisture and baking time accordingly.’]
