If you need a Grinch dessert, these green Grinch Truffle Cake Balls are fun to make and even more fun to eat. This easy recipe uses boxed cake mix to make the chocolate cake in the Instant Pot (though you can use the oven if you prefer).
You'll make the most delicious cake balls from the Devil's Food Cake Mix and cream cheese frosting, then decorate them with a classic Grinch-green chocolate shell with a red heart sprinkle.
These little Grinch Cake Balls are a great project to make with kids, great for holiday parties and Christmas dessert tables, and awesome to give away to friends in a goodie bag!
Grinch Cake Balls
The rich, fudgy chocolate cake pops in this recipe are absolutely delicious thanks to rich Devil's Food Cake and cream cheese frosting, and the chocolate coating that you bite through to get to the chocolate cake pops makes it all even tastier.
Note: The amount of white chocolate you need will depend on the size and shape of your microwaveable dipping bowl and how thickly you coat the Grinch balls. You need at least ~12 oz (typically 3 bars of white baking chocolate) so you're able to dip easily and get a nice smooth coating, but I recommend having 4 on hand. You can always use the rest for other desserts!
Step 3: Add 1 ½ cups water to the inner pot of the Instant Pot. Place the trivet inside. Carefully place the cake pan on the trivet.

Step 4: Cook on the manual setting at high pressure for 50 minutes. Once the time is up, to a manual quick release (be careful with the steam!). Set the cake pan on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
Step 5: Once the cake is completely cool, place it in a large bowl and crumble it. That's right, break apart that gorgeous cake you just made!
Step 7: Use a cookie scoop or a small spoon to grab a small amount of the cake mixture. Roll it in the palm of your hands to form a ball. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 15 minutes.

Step 8: Melt the baking chocolate in the microwave in 30-second increments until completely melted. Add a couple of drops of green food coloring to get your desired green color and stir.
Step 9: Remove the cake balls from the freezer, and dip each one into the green chocolate. Coat completely, and transfer back to the parchment paper to allow the chocolate to harden. Before it hardens, place one heart sprinkle on top of each truffle.
→ If you like the combination of mint + chocolate, you can add a few drops of mint extract to the cooked cake mix or to the melted chocolate. You can even split the batch in half and make half minty, and have regular.
