Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (20-24 cookies) fudge stripe shortbread cookies
- 2 cups (473 ml) toasted coconut
- 1 package (11 oz/311 g) caramel bits
- 2 squares chocolate candiQuik
- 3 tbsps (44 ml) heavy cream
Instructions
- Preparation: Lay fudge stripe shortbread cookies on a foil-lined baking sheet with adequate spacing for even topping.
- Caramel Fusion: Combine caramel bits and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl, heating and stirring until achieving a smooth, glossy liquid.
- Coconut Integration: Fold toasted coconut into the molten caramel, creating a rich, textured coating that will envelop each cookie completely.
- Coating Application: Meticulously spread the coconut-caramel mixture across cookie surfaces, ensuring thorough and uniform coverage.
- Chocolate Drizzle: Melt chocolate CandiQuik in the microwave, stirring until reaching a fluid, lustrous consistency.
- Decorative Finishing: Utilize a makeshift piping bag to elegantly cascade chocolate across the caramel-coated cookies, adding visual and flavor complexity.
- Setting and Storage: Allow cookies to rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, permitting caramel and chocolate layers to solidify, then transfer to an airtight container for preservation.
Notes
- Maximize Caramel Consistency: Heat caramel bits and cream slowly to prevent burning, stirring every 15-20 seconds for smooth texture.
- Perfect Coconut Toasting: Spread coconut evenly on a baking sheet and toast until golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent uneven browning.
- Strategic Chocolate Drizzling: Use a steady hand and low-angle approach when drizzling chocolate to create elegant, thin lines without overwhelming the cookie.
- Storage Precision: Store cookies in a single layer between parchment paper to maintain crisp texture and prevent sticking or melting.
