Healthy Peppermint Patties
- Minutes to Prepare:
- Number of Servings: 25
Ingredients
1 tablespoon coconut oil or unsalted butter2 tablespoons ricotta cheese1 tablespoon powdered milkPure peppermint extract, to tasteStevia, to tasteA drop of green food coloring (optional)1 cup homemade sugar-free chocolate chips (see recipe in my recipes)
Fold together ricotta, powdered milk, and a few drops of peppermint extract. Cream with a hand mixer until ricotta is completely smooth. Add stevia to taste, and beat in a drop of green food coloring if desired. Add more peppermint extract, to taste.
Melt chocolate chips. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Spread circles of the chocolate onto the cold cookie sheet, trying to make a thin even layer of chocolate. Chill for five minutes to set. Spread mint filling just inside the circles and chill again. Finally, dip candies topside down in the chocolate to cover and seal the filling. Store on the counter top for up to a day, then keep in the refrigerator.
Not sure exactly how many it makes - I'm guessing 25.
