Ingredients
  

Filling
  • ½ cup Cacao Butter Provides a smooth, creamy filling; coconut butter can be used, but texture will differ.
  • ½ cup Powdered Monk Fruit Acts as a sweetener without calories; substitute with any powdered sugar if preferred.
  • 1 teaspoon Peppermint Flavoring Imparts a refreshing minty taste; use peppermint extract cautiously as it’s potent.
  • 1 teaspoon Spirulina Used for natural green coloring; alternatives include matcha, chlorella, or spinach powder; optional for flavor adjustment.
Coating
  • 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips Forms the outer coating, ensuring the mints remain Paleo, Keto, and Vegan; choose extra dark chocolate (85-100% cacao) for a perfect sweetness balance.

Method
 

Mint Chocolate Preparation
  1. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt ½ cup of cacao butter, stirring frequently to ensure it melts evenly without burning (about 5–7 minutes).
  2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in ½ cup of powdered monk fruit and 1 teaspoon of peppermint flavoring. Adjust the peppermint to your taste and add 1 teaspoon of spirulina for color.
  3. Pour ½-1 tablespoon of the mint filling mixture into silicone mini muffin molds and place in the freezer for 10–20 minutes.
  4. Melt 1 cup of dark chocolate chips in the cleaned saucepan over low heat for about 3–5 minutes, stirring continuously.
  5. Carefully remove the mint fillings from the molds, dip into the melted dark chocolate, and allow excess to drip off.
  6. Place the dipped mint chocolates on a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle remaining chocolate over the tops, and garnish with fresh mint. Freeze for another 10 minutes.
