Ingredients

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting chocolate
  • 1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip, thawed
  • Optional: powdered sugar, cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or sprinkles for coating

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  2. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly.
  3. Gently fold the melted chocolate into the thawed Cool Whip until fully combined.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch dish.
  5. Freeze for about 1 hour until firm.
  6. Lift the mixture from the dish and slice into small squares.
  7. Optionally, roll each piece in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, nuts, or sprinkles.
  8. Store in an airtight container in the freezer.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Eat straight from the freezer for a firmer bite, or let sit for 2–3 minutes to soften slightly.
  • Don’t use homemade whipped cream; it lacks the stabilizers in Cool Whip.
  • Drizzle or dip in melted chocolate for a more decadent version.
