Print Recipe

A quick and festive treat combining creamy white chocolate with red velvet cake crumbs and patriotic sprinkles, perfect for summer celebrations and last-minute desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces white chocolate chips (340 grams)
  • 1 cup red velvet cake crumbs (120 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (14 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream (30 ml) – optional
  • 1/4 cup patriotic sprinkles (30 grams)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the red velvet cake crumbs by crumbling 1 cup (120 grams) of red velvet cake finely in a mixing bowl. Let fresh cake dry out for a few hours to avoid sogginess. (10 minutes prep)
  2. Melt the white chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon (14 grams) unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring each time until smooth. Alternatively, melt gently in a double boiler. (5 minutes)
  3. Stir a pinch of sea salt into the melted chocolate to balance the sweetness. (30 seconds)
  4. Gently fold the red velvet crumbs into the melted white chocolate until just combined, ensuring crumbs are well-coated but not dissolved. (2 minutes)
  5. Pour the mixture onto a lined baking sheet and spread evenly to about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thickness using a spatula. (5 minutes)
  6. Immediately sprinkle 1/4 cup (30 grams) of patriotic sprinkles over the top, pressing lightly so they stick. (1 minute)
  7. Chill the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until the bark is firm to the touch. (1 hour)
  8. Break the set bark into irregular pieces and store in an airtight container. (2 minutes)

Notes

Use low heat when melting white chocolate to avoid seizing. Fold in cake crumbs gently to maintain texture. Add sprinkles immediately after spreading chocolate to ensure they stick. Chill bark uncovered to prevent chocolate bloom. Store in airtight container in fridge up to two weeks or freeze up to three months. Let bark come to room temperature before serving to avoid melting.
