This recipe for my No Bake Cookie Dough Truffles went on the website back in 2016, a few things have changed since, my photography skills being one and the other main one; Delicious Alchemy no longer sell a cookie mix.
I had to rethink this recipe. Scrap it or find an alternative source. I decided on the latter so I can now present you with a new and improved recipe with dairy free and vegan options as well as gluten free.

What Cookie Mix can I use?
My son and I visited Jordan Mill recently, they have a decent sized selection of free from goodies in their gift shop and I saw the packet mix by Doves Freee for their Choc Chip Cookie Mix. It was a sign, I’d been thinking of updating my photos for the original post and this meant the show could go on. I’ve since done a bit of research for you and found other packet mixes so read on for other examples.
These would work equally as well if you added a tot of brandy or rum, I’d suggest replacing 15ml of the water for 15ml (1 tbsp) of alcohol… this makes 16 truffles.
I have found other gluten free cookie packet mixes that you may wish to use.
Superfood Bakery have a lovely looking chocolate cookie mix. I can’t tell what the packet instructions are but I’d bet your bottom dollar its the same; oil and water. So as this is only a 245g mix for £3.89 I’d add only 50g fat (butter or oil) and enough water to make the mix mailable.
Here are some other mixes you could try that are gluten free
Keep Glutarama AD-Free
I do not to have AD’s on my website. But it means I need to find other ways to pay for the £500+ it costs to run it every year.

Can I make dairy free Cookie Dough Truffles?
Yes you can, in fact the truffles you see here are dairy and gluten free truffles. The Freee mix states you only need to add oil and water. I’ve changed this for my good old ally in the kitchen Flora’s dairy free plant butter.
What chocolate should I use to coat my truffles?
I use dairy free chocolate of course. My go to dark chocolate is Bournville but be warned this has may contains on it for gluten and dairy. I get away with using this chocolate with my daughter because she refuses to eat dark chocolate so no risk of cross contamination there. For the milk and white chocolates I tend to go for supermarket own brands.
TOP TIP: if using dairy free chocolate and you plan to use a microwave to melt. Only do this in shot bursts and keep checking the chocolate. I find that dairy free chocolates have a tendency to burn easily in the microwave if not kept an eye on.
Could I make these truffles vegan?
Depending on the packet mix then yes you can make these vegan. This was made from a packet of Freee and there are no animal products in the mix. You’ll need to watch out for powdered milk or egg whites in other gluten free cookie packet mixes.

No Bake Gluten Free Raw Cookie Dough Truffles
Ingredients
- 350 g gluten free cookie mix I use Freee by Doves Farm
- 15 g cocoa powder
- 30 g desiccated coconut
- 80 g unsalted butter or dairy free alternative (I use Flora plant butter) (or dairy free alternative, I use Flora plant butter)
- 30 ml water
to coat;
- 100 g milk chocolate
- 100 g dark chocolate
- 100 g white chocolate or dairy free alternative
Instructions
- Add the Gluten Free Cookie Mix, coconut and cocoa to a bowl
- Add the butter and water to a cup and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds (if adding alcohol, add this straight to the dry mix)
- Pour melted butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix to combine.
- Turn out onto work surface and knead into a ball (no need to flour surface)
- Pop into the fridge too cool for 10 minutes. This will make the dough easier to handle if too wet and sticky.
- Remove from fridge and divide mixture in half, then half again and continue until you have 16 lumps of dough, roll each lump into a ball.
- Cool your 16 naked truffles in the fridge for at least 30mins!
- Gently melt all three chocolate bars in separate bowls.
- Remove from fridge and coat each ball with your chosen chocolate (I did 5x milk, 5x dark and 6x white)
- I place my truffles onto a silicone baking sheet on a baking tray and once all truffles have been coated, pop the tray into the fridge again to set the chocolate.
- If you wish you can add another drizzle of alternating chocolate for that professional touch! To do this I make three little icing bags out of squares of baking paper. I then snip the end off with a pair of scissors and drizzle over each truffle.
- Once again pop into the fridge – I keep mine in the fridge in a Tupperware container, this way they stay fresh and cool and don't melt.
