Birthday Cake Cheese Ball:
I don't know if it's the same for you, but birthday cake ranks near the top of my favorite desserts. I'm sure it sounds crazy to some folks. However, I'm even a fan of the classic grocery store birthday cake. Serve it up with a scoop of ice cream, and I'm a happy human. Anyone else? (BTW, for me, it needs to be vanilla cake, vanilla icing, and vanilla ice cream.)
I suppose that's why a birthday cake-inspired cheese ball seems like an excellent idea. Covered with sprinkles, it's not only yummy but fun and colorful, too!
How to Make a Birthday Cake Cheese Ball:
The process is simple. Start by whipping together cream cheese and butter.
Next, beat in funfetti cake mix, extra sprinkles, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract. There's just a touch of almond extract in this recipe, but I think it adds a depth of flavor. I personally love desserts with almond extract.
Once everything is incorporated, transfer the mixture to a sheet of plastic wrap. As you wrap it, shape it into a ball. Then, place the cheeseball in the refrigerator so it can firm up.
Before serving, roll the ball in a bowl filled with sprinkles. It's at this point that the magic happens! The ball instantly transforms into this colorful sprinkle-coated beauty. What's not to love!?
After that, your Birthday Cake Cheese Ball is ready to be served. I chose vanilla wafers and shortbread for serving, but feel free to use whatever cookies you like best.
