Ingredients For These Keto Peppermint Patties
You won’t believe how few simple ingredients you need to make these delicious homemade keto peppermint patties.
- Coconut Oil – I use refined coconut oil in recipes because I don’t want an intense coconut taste.
- Coconut Cream – if you make these patties during summer, the coconut cream must be at room temperature. But if it’s winter season, I recommend microwaving it for just a few seconds.
- Sweetener – feel free to use your favorite powdered sweeteners such as erythritol or monk fruit.
- Peppermint Extract- to add a refreshing mint taste to your patties.
- Dark Chocolate – You can use any sugar-free chocolate you like.
- Cocoa Butter – you can also replace it with the same amount of coconut oil.
How To Make These Keto Peppermint Patties
It’s easy to make these Keto Peppermint Patties by following just a few simple steps.
- Start by making the filling. In a small bowl, beat the coconut oil and coconut cream until creamy.
- Add the powdered sweetener and peppermint extract and mix until well combined.
- Next, form the patties. Spread the mixture with a butter knife or a spoon to create a circle.
- Put them on a pan lined with parchment pepper and freeze them for about two hours until they harden.
- Make the chocolate coating. Melt the chocolate and coconut butter together in a double boiler over medium to high heat. Stir constantly to prevent it from burning.
- Dip them in chocolate. Place a mint patty on a fork and dip it into the chocolate mixture until fully coated.
- Place them back on the pan lined with parchment pepper and freeze for about 20 minutes to firm up.
Tips For Making The Best Keto Peppermint Patties
- You can dip the patties 1 or 2 times in the chocolate until you have the coverage you like.
- Soften your coconut oil, but make sure that it doesn’t completely melt.
- The patties must be completely frozen before dipping them in chocolate. Before this step, ensure they’re firm and can easily pull off the paper.
- Make sure to leave enough space between your peppermint patties when placing them on a tray so that the extra chocolate doesn’t spread on each other.
Storing Ideas
- Fridge: These peppermint patties can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freezer: You can also freeze them in an airtight container for later! But you need to know that if you choose this storage method, the patties’ color may change due to the temperature shift. But don’t worry, because the only thing that changes is the color, while the taste it’s still the same.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Make These With Other Flavors?
Sure! Because the peppermint taste comes from the extract, you may replace it with vanilla, orange, or any other flavor you choose! If you want a more truffle-like form, make these into balls.
