No Bake Cookie Dough Truffle Cups Tips
- Store cups in the fridge. Keep them in the fridge until the last minute before serving.
- Add some mini cookie dough balls on top to give your dessert fans a hint at what you've got in store for them!
- If you love salty-sweet treats, top these cups with a light sprinkle sea salt flakes
on top!
- Make your cups jumbo or mini sized depending on the special event!
- Add some sprinkles
on top or extra chocolate drizzles of another chocolate flavor on top!
- After adding chocolate to the base and then to top the cookie dough, give the muffin tin a few hard taps to help even out the chocolate and get it in one layer.
- Don’t forget the muffin liners
!
Melting Chocolate Tips
- Use any type of chocolate you want. Milk, semi-sweet, dark, or white chocolate chips. I did a combo of dark and milk chocolate for mine.
- Use good-quality chocolate chips for best flavor and melting.
- Microwave the chocolate chips in sturdy, heat–safe bowls.
- Microwave the chips for 30 seconds at a time, and stir them for at least 20-25 seconds between each microwave burst. Chocolate will continue melting even after it has been removed from the microwave. I usually fine 1 ½ minutes to 2 minutes usually does the trick.
Edible Cookie Dough Tips
- Our edible cookie dough is healthy to eat. It's super easy to heat-treat your own all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
right in the microwave! Super easy step!
- Place flour into a microwave safe bowl and microwave flour for a total of 90 seconds.
- Microwave flour 30 seconds at a time and then whisk for a couple of seconds between each microwave burst.
- If you end up with a bit of extra cookie dough, roll into small balls and snack on them accordingly. Also use as a garnish for cupcakes, cheesecake, sandwich them in Oreos
or add some to ice cream! YUM!
- Add-ins! Add m&m's, reese's pieces or nuts to give these a fun twist when biting into these sweet treats!
