Daisy Cookie Dough Truffles Supplies
You'll need some ingredients and supplies to craft your Daisy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles.
✿ To make the delectable chocolate chip cookie dough, you'll need your standard ingredients of flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, milk, vanilla extract, salt, and mini chocolate chips.
It's important to use mini chocolate chips because they fit better in the silicone mold, and it allows for maximum chocolate chips in your cookie dough.
Also note, that there is no need for eggs with this delightful edible cookie dough.
✿ To create the cute daisies, you'll need the Wilton Silicone Daisy Mold. You can also make these cookie dough truffles in other silicone molds, like this loveable heart-shaped silicone mold, or you can keep it simple and just roll them into balls.
✿ For the smooth white chocolate portion of this spring dessert, you'll need white chocolate melting wafers or vanilla candy coating.
If you're looking to color your white chocolate then you'll need Wilton Garden Candy Color. This oil-based (necessary when working with chocolate) candy coloring will blend easily with your white chocolate/candy melts.
For your melting chocolate needs, I highly recommend the Wilton Melting Pot. This is by no means a necessity. You can absolutely use your microwave, but if you see a lot of chocolate melting in your future it's very useful.
Another recommendation, but not necessity, is paramount crystals. They do wonders when working with chocolate; they help the chocolate dry shiny and smooth.
The Art of Melting Chocolate is a great further resource on working with chocolate.
Step-by-Step Directions for Daisy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles
Now that you've got everything ready, let's dive into the process of making these cookie dough truffles.
Step 1 | The Daisies
First, you’ll need to put a little flour into the silicone daisy mold, tap it around, and then dump the excess. This will help ensure easy removal of your adorable daisy truffles.
Then, once you’ve whipped up your eggless chocolate chip cookie dough scoop the dough into the daisy mold. You’ll want to push it around and down filling the cavity. Be sure to make the cookie dough flush with the top of the silicone mold. This will give you a nice flat bottom.
Once you’ve filled your mold, pop it into the freezer for about a half hour. While your cookie dough is firming up you can start melting your chocolate.
Step 2 | The Chocolate Bath
To melt chocolate wafers, you can use a double boiler, a chocolate melting pot, or a microwave. If using a microwave, heat the chocolate for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat until the chocolate is melted. Be watchful while heating chocolate – you don’t want to burn it.
If you intend to add a little color to your white chocolate, now is the time to do it. Remember, do not use water-based food coloring as this will make your chocolate seize. The Art of Melting Chocolate can further explain this.
Once your cookie dough is firmed up and your chocolate is melted it is time for your truffles to take a chocolate bath. Dip cookie dough truffles into the chocolate, lightly tap the dipping tool to remove excess chocolate, and place on parchment paper to set. You don’t want your cookie dough truffles to get soft while dipping, so be brisk when dipping into the warm melted chocolate.
