I made this Vegan Peppermint Patties for my dad’s holiday dinner last month. The peppermint stayed cool under the shell, and my dad loved them.
Homemade Vegan Peppermint Patties
These vegan peppermint patties feature a creamy mint filling encased in a crisp chocolate shell. The recipe usually takes about an hour to prepare and chill, making approximately 12 patties.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for melting with chocolate)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, peppermint extract, and salt. Mix until well blended.
- Shape the Patties: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and form them into flat patties. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the Patties: Refrigerate the patties for about 30 minutes, or until they are firm.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.
- Coat the Patties: Dip each peppermint patty into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out and let the excess chocolate drip before placing them back on the parchment paper.
- Chill Again: Return the coated patties to the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes until the chocolate shell is set.
- Serve: Enjoy your homemade vegan peppermint patties as a refreshing dessert or gift them to friends and family.
