Healthy Chocolate Covered Cookie Dough Balls (Gluten Free, Vegan)
These gluten-free, vegan cookie dough balls are coated in chocolate and made with wholesome ingredients
Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough Balls:
- 1¼ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted and cooled
- 2 tablespoons milk of choice e.g., oat, almond
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips dairy-free, if vegan
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 1 cup chocolate chips vegan if needed
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Bring all ingredients to room temperature. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut sugar, coconut oil, milk, vanilla, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Add Chocolate Chips
- Fold in ⅓ cup of chocolate chips. Place the bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up the dough—this makes rolling much easier.
Shape the Balls
- Remove the bowl from the freezer. Using a spoon or small scoop, roll dough into balls (about 1 heaping tablespoon each). Place them on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 1 hour.
Melt the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
Coat the Dough Balls
- Dip each frozen dough ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Return them to the lined tray. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt if desired.
Freeze to Set
- Place the tray back in the freezer for 1–2 hours or until the chocolate has fully set. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
