Ingredients

Mint Filling

  • 2 cups organic powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoons coconut cream prepared can or use the thick part from a chilled can full-fat coconut milk
  • ½ teaspoon pure peppermint extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1-2 teaspoons water as needed for texture

Chocolate Coating

  • 9 ounces vegan dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Holiday sprinkles optional
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, mix powdered sugar, melted coconut oil, coconut cream, peppermint extract, and salt until a dough forms. Add water a tiny splash at a time only if needed. The mixture should be soft but not sticky.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment. Scoop 1 tablespoon portions and roll into balls, then flatten into disks. Place on the baking sheet and freeze for 15–20 minutes.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and coconut oil together for 30-second intervals, until most of the chips have melted. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  • Remove patties from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each patty into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off before returning to the baking sheet. Top with holiday sprinkles, if desired.
  • Freeze or refrigerate until chocolate is firm, about 10–15 minutes.

Notes

*Use refined coconut oil if you want to avoid any hint of coconut. Virgin coconut oil will have a slight hint of that. 
To store: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
