smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cake has cooled, crumble it into fine crumbs using your hands or a fork.
- Add about 1/2 cup of the cream cheese frosting to the cake crumbs and mix until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
- Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out portions of the cake mixture and roll them into balls between your palms. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet with the rolled truffles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth. If the chocolate is too thick, stir in vegetable shortening or coconut oil to thin it out.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate using a fork, tapping off any excess chocolate. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Once all the truffles are coated, return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set.
- Once the chocolate coating has set, transfer the carrot cake truffles to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
