Coconut Peppermint Patties

These are seriously DELICIOUS! And slightly addictive. I’m sorry that I’m sharing this with you….well, not really!

The original recipe came from my friends over at Nourish & Glow, but I changed a few things.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes (I used the organic coconut chips/smiles that I pulsed in the Vitamix)
  • 1/3 ​cup raw honey
  • 1 drop DoTERRA Peppermint Essential oil
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil​, melted
  • Pinch sea salt
  • ​​Muffin cups or tray (silicone works best)

 

Chocolate Topping

  • 2/3 cup melted coconut oil , melted
  • ​2/3 cup raw cacao powder
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Pinch sea salt

Directions:

Base:

  1. Mix the coconut flakes and raw honey together (try to get the honey and coconut flakes to form a ball with the honey covering as much of the coconut as possible).
  2. Melt the coconut oil in a saucepan over low heat and add to the coconut and honey.
  3. Stir in peppermint oil and sea salt to the coconut mixture and mix well.
  4. Add a small spoon sized amount of the coconut mixture to a muffin tray or paper cup pressing the mixture into the bottom of the cups.
  5. Freeze the coconut cups for 15 minutes.

Chocolate topping:

  1. While the coconut cups are chilling, begin to make the chocolate by melting the coconut oil over low heat in a saucepan.
  2. Whisk in the raw cacao powder with the melted coconut oil.
  3. Add in sea salt and maple syrup.
  4. Remove the coconut cups from the fridge and pour chocolate over into the muffin cup.
  5. Freeze and remove the muffin cup before serving.
