Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookie Base:
- 24 vanilla wafers (or any small, round cookies)
For the Custard Filling:
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup cold milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Ganache:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Custard Filling:
In a medium bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until it thickens, about 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until well combined. - Assemble the Cookie Bites:
Lay 12 vanilla wafers flat on a tray, with the flat side facing up. Spoon or pipe a dollop of the custard filling onto each wafer. Top with another vanilla wafer to create a sandwich. - Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. - Top the Cookie Bites:
Spoon a small amount of chocolate ganache onto the top of each cookie sandwich, spreading it gently with the back of the spoon. Let the cookie bites sit for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld and the cookies to soften slightly. - Serve:
Serve chilled and enjoy these delicious bite-sized treats with the perfect balance of creamy custard, soft cookie, and rich chocolate.
