How to Make Gluten Free Truffles
This gluten-free cookie dough truffle recipe is so easy to make! Just mix up the dough, chill, then roll into truffles. Here are the easy steps:
- Make Cookie Dough - Start by creaming the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract until combined. Finish the dough by gradually adding the flour and alternating with the dairy-free milk. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
- Chill Cookie Dough - Chill the edible cookie dough in the freezer for about an hour.
- Roll into Cookie Dough Truffles - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and form the cookie dough into balls. I like to use a cookie dough scoop to quickly make even sized truffles. Chill the truffles in the freezer for at least 30 minutes until fully chilled.
- Coat Truffles - Melt the almond bark in the microwave and dip the chilled truffles in the melted chocolate. I like to remove just 5 or 6 truffles from the freezer at a time so that they stay chilled. After dipping the truffles in the chocolate and placing on a new parchment-lined baking sheet, you can sprinkle with your favorite toppings like chopped nuts, sprinkles, or shaved chocolate.
- Enjoy - Allow the chocolate coating to fully set before serving.
Vegan Sweetened Condensed Milk
You can easily make your own vegan sweetened condensed milk in your slow cooker. This recipe is so simple and uses only 4 ingredients: dairy-free milk, coconut sugar, dairy-free butter, and vanilla. Let your crockpot do all the work!
If you don’t want to make it from scratch, you can buy sweetened condensed coconut milk at the grocery store. Make sure you don’t buy regular canned coconut cream - it needs to be sweetened and condensed.
FAQ’s
Can I use all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour. Use the full 2 cups that the recipe calls for. The all-purpose flour will need to be heat treated so that it’s safe to heat raw.
You can heat treat the flour by adding the 2 cups of flour to a baking sheet and baking in a 325 degrees F oven for about 7-8 minutes. Allow to cool before using. This process heats the flour to at least 160 degrees F which kills any bacteria.
Do I have to cover the truffles with chocolate?
No, you don’t need to cover the cookie dough truffles with chocolate. You can totally eat the dairy-free cookie dough plain. Or you can also roll the edible cookie dough in finely chopped nuts.
How do you store truffles?
These gluten-free cookie dough truffles can be stored in the fridge for up to a week. Store them in an airtight container. For longer-term storage, you can freeze the truffles for up to 3 months.

One of the best parts about making cookie dough truffles is that you can customize them with toppings! Try rolling the truffles in one of these fun toppings - or pick several and make a variety of truffles. Here are some of my favorite toppings:
