Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 oz / 225 g) container Cool Whip, thawed
- 2 cups (340 g) chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark)
- 1 tablespoon (14 g) coconut oil or vegetable oil (optional, for smoother coating)
- Optional Garnish: Crushed nuts, sprinkles, or flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare Cool Whip Base: Scoop thawed Cool Whip into a bowl. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Freeze the Cool Whip: Drop dollops of Cool Whip onto the tray using a spoon or small scoop. Freeze for at least 1 hour until firm.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip Frozen Cool Whip: Using a fork, dip each frozen Cool Whip ball into melted chocolate, coating evenly. Let excess drip off and place on the tray.
- Freeze Again: Return the tray to the freezer for 20–30 minutes, until chocolate is set.
- Serve: Enjoy directly from the freezer or let sit for 2–3 minutes for a creamier texture.
Notes
- Ensure Cool Whip is fully frozen before dipping to maintain shape.
- Use quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Add extracts or mix-ins like peanut butter or peppermint for variety.
- Store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
- Avoid refrigeration — candies lose texture quickly.
