Ingredients

Creamy Peppermint Filling

Chocolate Shell

  • 4 ounces cacao paste or bakers chocolate, sugar-free chocolate chips, or chocolate bar, chopped.
  • 1 tablespoons coconut oil
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Cream the coconut oil and powdered sweetener together. Add coconut cream and peppermint extract. Taste, add up to another full teaspoon of extract if desired.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop a rounded tablespoon of the filling and press into a 1½ inch circular disk. Repeat with the remaining material until you make 12 total patties.
  • Place in the freezer for 30-60 minutes or until frozen solid.
  • Melt ingredients for the chocolate shell (cacao paste and coconut oil) in a double boiler.
  • Gently drop one disk at a time into the melted chocolate, turn it over with a fork, and toss until the filling is completely coated.
  • Remove the candy with a fork and return it to the baking sheet. Continue with all other disks.
  • Return the sheet to the freeze and chill until the shell sets, 30-60 minutes. Once firm, transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to eat.

Notes

  • Taste the mint as you go since peppermint extract varies in strength. Start with a small amount, sample the filling, and adjust so it stays refreshing without becoming too strong.
  • Use an electric mixer to beat the filling for a smoother, creamier texture that melts in your mouth.
  • Try flavor variations by using orange extract for a citrus twist, or sprinkle crushed sugar-free hard mints on top of the chocolate for a festive holiday touch.
Serve: Crumble them into keto ice cream or mix them into brownie or cheesecake batter for a mint-chocolate boost, and they’re also great alongside keto copycat butterfinger bites and low-carb Snickers pie.
Store: Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, separating layers with parchment to prevent sticking. To freeze, firm them on a baking sheet first, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up to 1 month.
