Serving Suggestions
- Spoon it straight from the bowl no judgment here!
- Roll it into mini bites and freeze for a bite-sized sweet treat.
- Add it as a topping to vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
- Spread it between graham crackers or cookies for a DIY sandwich cookie.
This dough is soft, rich, and satisfying—perfect on its own or as part of a more indulgent dessert.
Saving Suggestions
- Refrigerate leftovers (if any!) in an airtight container for up to 2 days. The dough will firm up in the fridge, so let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying again.
- Freeze for longer storage: Scoop the dough into bite-sized balls and freeze for up to 1 month. These are great for popping out whenever a craving hits.
Tip: Label your container with the date to make sure you enjoy it at peak freshness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is it safe to eat raw flour?
A: Raw flour can contain bacteria, so it’s important to heat-treat it first. Microwave it in 15-second intervals (stirring in between) until it reaches 165°F, or bake it at 350°F for 5 minutes.
Q: Can I make this dairy-free?
A: Yes! Substitute plant-based butter and a dairy-free milk like almond or oat milk.
Q: Can I use a sugar substitute?
A: Absolutely. Use your favorite granulated sugar alternative—just make sure it blends well and isn’t overly grainy.
Q: Can I double the recipe?
A: Of course! Just multiply the ingredients by two or more to make additional servings.
