Homemade Peppermint Patties ❄️ (vegan, paleo) These no bake mint patties taste like the real peppermint patty. I know the ingredients seem like 🤔 but TRUST. They’re creamy & minty & the perfect texture! Ingredients: 8 Tbsp refined coconut oil, melted 1/2 cup raw cashews, or raw macadamias 1 Tbsp non-dairy milk 1 tsp peppermint extract, or 1/4 tsp peppermint oil 1/8 tsp vanilla extract 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips 1 tsp coconut oil, for chocolate Measure out 1/2 cup raw cashews (or macadamias), and soak for 5-6 hours or overnight in water. To speed this up, soak in boiling water for an hour. They should be plump & soft or will not work in this recipe! Then drain water, rinse and add to a high speed blender. Add in melted coconut oil, milk, vanilla, peppermint extract and maple syrup to the blender and blend on high for 1-2 minutes. Scrape and keep blending until completely smooth. (Add an extra Tbsp of syrup if you like sweeter) Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment/wax paper. Spoon one teaspoonful of mixture onto paper so it forms a small round circle, the size of a mini peppermint patty. About 1-1/2” round. Repeat until you make 14 circles. Carefully transfer to the freezer, laying flat. Freeze for 10 minutes to set. Remove from freezer and repeat the same process, now adding another layer on top of the existing circles, to add thickness. Place in freezer to set until fully frozen, about an hour. When ready, keep in freezer while you melt chocolate. In a small bowl, melt choc chips with the 1 1/2 tsp of coconut oil to just warm & fully melted. Too hot will melt the patties when dipped. Remove from freezer. Lay a circle onto a fork and dip into the chocolate, shake off excess and lay back on the sheet. Repeat with the rest. Try to work quickly so they don’t melt. Place back in freezer once all dipped to fully set, at least 1 hour. Store in freezer, or fridge for a more melty Junior Mint texture! . #peppermintpatty #chocolatepeppermint #nobake #homemadechocolates #christmasdessert #christmasrecipes #holidayreels #paleodessert #paleo #vegandessert #glutenfreebaking #healthybaking #glutenfreerecipes #bakingreels
