Strawberry Cool Whip Chocolate Candies
Fluffy strawberry nougat wrapped in rich dark chocolate with a sweet berry finish.
Ingredients π
β’ 12 oz (340 g) white chocolate chips
β’ 10 oz (283 g) strawberry-flavored candy melts
β’ 1/2 cup (15 g) freeze-dried strawberries, finely crushed
β’ 8 oz (226 g) Cool Whip, thawed
β’ 2 cups (340 g) dark chocolate chips
β’ 1 tbsp (14 g) coconut oil
β’ 1 tbsp (5 g) freeze-dried strawberry powder, for topping
Directions:
1. Melt the white chocolate chips and strawberry candy melts gently in a heatproof bowl, stirring until completely smooth and glossy.
2. Stir in the finely crushed freeze-dried strawberries until evenly distributed.
π‘ Tip: Let the melted chocolate mixture cool until just warm before adding the Cool Whip, so the whipped topping doesn't melt and lose its fluffy texture.
3. Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until the mixture becomes uniform, airy, and pale pink.
4. Spread the mixture into a parchment-lined 8-inch (20 cm) square pan, smoothing the top evenly.
5. Freeze for 2β3 hours, until the strawberry nougat is completely firm.
6. Lift the frozen slab from the pan and cut into bite-sized squares with a sharp knife.
7. Melt the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth and glossy.
8. Dip each frozen square into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip back into the bowl.
9. Place on parchment and immediately sprinkle with strawberry powder before the chocolate sets.
10. Refrigerate for 10β15 minutes, until the chocolate shell is firm.
