These delicious Marshmallow Cookie Dough Cups are so tasty and really easy to throw together! They are a great no bake dessert or snack recipe for any marshmallow lovers.

I love the contrast of the marshmallow with the dark chocolate in this recipe, however, if you have a real sweet tooth you can use a dairy free milk or white chocolate. I have made these using a dairy free milk chocolate, however, I think the white version would be a bit too sweet for me so have never tried it. You could even add extra chocolate to these by adding chocolate chips or chunks to the cookie dough batter before rolling them into balls if desired.

When preparing the marshmallows, use a sharp knfe to slice them in half and butterfly them, then open them up and lay them, inside facing down, over the top of each of the cookie dough discs. To make these cookie dough cups I use vegan marshmallows and a dairy free dark chocolate, however, if you eat animal products you can just use the regular kind. Similarly, if you are not following a gluten free diet you can use regular oats.

You can use either tahini or peanut butter in this recipe, however, it will need to be one that is quite firm in texture. The tahini will add a slightly bitter flavour when compared with the peanut butter but, when paired with the marshmallows, these no bake cups will still be sweet enough. You could also use seed or any other types of nut butter when making this recipe if you have other dietary requirements.

I use a silicone muffin tray to make these cups. If you use a metal muffin tray keep in mind you may need to use some kind of liner so the cookie dough cups can be easily removed from the tray. I usually make six cups from the amount listed below, however, how many you are able to make will depend on how large you make the cookie dough balls and how generous you are with the chocolate.

I have noted that these take 70 minutes to make, however, this incudes the time needed for these cups to set in the refrigerator. If you were in a rush you could place these in the freezer to set instead.
