Ingredients
Here's a list of what you need to make these healthy peppermint patties:
- coconut cream
- coconut butter
- powdered monk fruit (or powdered sugar)
- coconut oil
- peppermint (flavoring or extract)
- dark chocolate chips
The combination of coconut cream, coconut butter and coconut oil creates a creamy, smooth filling that melts in your mouth. You can sweeten the filling with powdered monk fruit (like I did) or use another powdered sugar.
How to Make Peppermint Patties
To make these homemade peppermint patties, you'll need a miniature silicone muffin pan or silicone cupcake liners. This ensures an easy removal for the filling.
First, combine all of the filling ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth. If the filling separates or is clumpy, then microwave it for 10-15 seconds and whisk. If you don't have a microwave, the you can mix all of the ingredients in a small sauce pan, and warm on the stove top, over low heat.
Scoop the filling into a mini silicone muffin pan, filling each slot with about 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture.
Freeze the fillings for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Once the fillings are ready, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil for the coating. Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a small sauce pan and melt over low heat on a small burner, stirring frequently.
Remove the peppermint fillings from the silicone muffin pan and dip, one at a time, into the melted chocolate.
Once all of the mint patties have been dipped, you may drizzle the tops with the leftover chocolate and add a pinch of flaked sea salt.
Storage
These paleo peppermint patties do not contain any preservatives, so they must be stored in the fridge or freezer.
Place the patties in a baggie or container and keep them in the fridge for up to two weeks, or the freezer up to one month.
