Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) melting chocolate (milk, dark, or white chocolate)
- 1 (8 ounces) container of Cool Whip, thawed
Flavoring:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Decoration (Optional):
- Sprinkles
- Crushed nuts
- Shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy candy removal and cleanup.
- Transfer Cool Whip into a spacious mixing bowl, gently folding in vanilla extract to enhance flavor complexity.
- Utilize a small cookie scoop to create uniform, bite-sized Cool Whip droplets on the prepared sheet.
- Chill the tray in the freezer for approximately 60 minutes until the dollops become completely solidified.
- Meanwhile, create a smooth chocolate coating by microwaving in brief 20-second increments, stirring between each interval.
- Allow the melted chocolate to cool to a lukewarm temperature, preventing potential Cool Whip disintegration.
- Extract the frozen Cool Whip pieces from the freezer with precision.
- Carefully immerse each frozen dollop into the chocolate using a fork, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Immediately embellish with optional toppings like sprinkles, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut while chocolate remains wet.
- Return the chocolate-coated candies to the parchment sheet and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until chocolate sets completely.
- Transfer finished candies to an airtight container, storing in refrigerator or freezer for optimal preservation up to one week.
Notes
- Stabilize Cool Whip by adding a splash of vanilla extract, enhancing the flavor depth and preventing quick melting.
- Ensure chocolate is lukewarm when coating to prevent Cool Whip from dissolving, maintaining the candy’s structural integrity.
- Use a fork or dipping tool for precise chocolate coating, creating a smooth and even chocolate shell around each dollop.
- Experiment with different toppings like crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or colorful sprinkles to add texture and visual appeal.
