Equipment
- Food processor
- Dipping fork
Ingredients
- 12 gluten free mint chocolate sandwich cookies (I used Goodie Girl)
- 3 Tablespoons room temperature dairy free butter (I used Country Crock plant butter sticks)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup allergy friendly chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup Enjoy Life mini white chocolate chips
- Mint extract
- Natural green food coloring (green and blue)
Instructions
- Add the mint sandwich cookies to a food processor and process until it makes fine cookie crumbs.
- Add the dairy free butter and vanilla extract to the crumbs in the food processor. Process again until everything sticks together and it forms a coarse "dough".
- Roll some of the "dough" into 1-inch sized balls or smaller. Our batch made about 12 balls. These are rich, so you don't want to make them too big. Place them on a parchment paper lined sheet pan.
- Chill the cookie balls while you prepare your chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until all the chocolate has melted. You can also opt to use a double boiler instead of the microwave to melt your chocolate.
- Using a dipping fork, dip or coat the cookie truffles with melted chocolate, allow the excess to drip off, and set back on the parchment paper lined pan.
- Next, make your mint white chocolate drizzle by melting the white chocolate chips and mixing in a few drops of mint extract and a couple drops of natural green and blue food coloring. Using the Simple Truth natural food coloring, I used 1-2 drops green food coloring + 2 drops blue food coloring to get a nice mint green color.
- Add the mint chocolate to a small ziploc bag and snip off a small piece of the corner. Pipe the chocolate drizzle over the truffles.
- Allow the chocolate to set up completely.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
