Don’t you just LOVE no-bake desserts? It’s almost like cheating when it comes to baking! These homemade chocolate dipped wafer cookies sprinkled with coconut, and nuts, are so easy to make and completely customizable. If you want to make these for Valentine’s Day, simply swap the nuts for pink and red sprinkles. For Easter, dip them in Chocolate and then sprinkle over crushed Cadbury’s Mini Eggs. You can also alter them for Christmas, and use red and green sprinkles. Your options are only limited to your imagination!

The recipe I use for the filling is the exact same recipe I used for my chocolate salami recipe, just this time I didn’t roll up the wafer sheets. These freeze very well, and can sit for a long time – chocolate can practically last forever!

Chocolate Dipped Wafers With Nuts and Coconut

 
Fast no-bake wafer cookies dipped in chocolate and sprinkled over with chopped walnuts and shredded coconut. Totally customizable decorations!
 
Ingredients:
 
For Chocolate Wafers
 
  • 200 g powdered sugar
  • 400 g unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 4 wafer sheets (store bought)
  • 80 g dark cooking chocolate
  • 400 g Petite Beurre cookies (crushed into tiny bits)
  • 80 g raisins
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tbsp rum
To Decorate
 
  • Dark cooking chocolate
  • Butter
  • Oil
  • Chopped nuts
  • Shredded coconut
Instructions:
 
To Make Wafer Cookies
 
  • Mix eggs and powdered sugar in a pot of a double boiler. Add butter and chocolate and cook on a double boiler until it turns into the consistency of pudding.
  • Remove from stove and mix in rum, crushed cookies, and raisins.
  • Evenly spread the mixture over one wafer sheet and place another sheet on top. Press as hard as you can with a heavy object such as a large wooden cutting board. Transfer to freezer to chill for a few hours.
  • Once chilled, remove from freezer and cut into wedges or rectangles.
To Decorate
 
  • Melt chocolate in a double boiler, add a little bit of oil and butter and keep mixing until the mixture becomes pourable. I do this step all approximately!
  • Dip wafers into chocolate and then sprinkle them with walnuts or coconut. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and back in the freezer to chill.
  • Once wafer cookies are chilled and the chocolate has hardened, they are ready to eat!
Notes
 
  • Swap your nuts and coconut for any sprinkles in the color of your choice!
