Description
An incredibly easy and decadent Three Ingredient Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles recipe: rich chocolate and peanut butter mixed with light Cool Whip, formed into simple, no-bake dessert bites.
Ingredients
-
9 oz no sugar added chocolate chips
-
1/2 cup low point peanut butter
-
8 oz sugar free Cool Whip, thawed
Instructions
-
Melt the Base: Combine chocolate chips and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until completely melted.
-
Fold in Cool Whip: Fold in the Cool Whip until fully combined.
-
Chill Mixture: Chill the mixture in the freezer for 45 to 60 minutes or until firm enough to scoop.
-
Form the Truffles: Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, form the mixture into 1-inch balls.
-
Coat and Set: Roll balls in powdered sugar, sprinkles, coconut, chopped nuts, or dip in melted chocolate. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Freeze/Refrigerate: Freeze or refrigerate until firm, at least 45 minutes.
Notes
-
Melting Chocolate: Heat slowly in 30-second intervals and stir aggressively. This prevents the chocolate from seizing or burning.
-
Folding Technique: Fold the Cool Whip gently. Overmixing can break down the structure of the Cool Whip, resulting in a heavier, flatter truffle.
-
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
-
Serving Prep: Let frozen truffles sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving for the best, fudgy texture.
-
Flavor Swap: You can substitute the peanut butter with almond butter or sunbutter for an equally delicious, nut-free alternative.
