EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy
PREP TIME:10 Minutes
COOKING TIME: 20 Minutes
TOTAL TIME: 30 Minutes
INGREDIENTS
6 & 1/2 Cups Lecanto Powdered Monk fruit
2 Cups Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips
1/2 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
1/4 TSP Pure Peppermint Extract
Grass-Fed Butter (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
Make a large baking sheet using Parchment paper.
In a Large Mixing Bowl, add the 6 & 1/2 Cups Lecanto Powdered Monk fruit, 1 TSP Heavy Whipping Cream, and 1/4 Teaspoon of Pure Peppermint Extract. This will form the basis for the Keto Peppermint Patties. Mix these ingredients together. If you are unable to find the Lecanto brand in the grocery store near you, then you could also use the Sweetener from Swerve Confectioners even though it’s made from Stevia rather than Monk fruit. Some people might feel that Stevia to be a bit bitter taste aftertaste, however, some do not.
Slowly add your remaining Heavy Whipping Cream, a small amount at a time. Continue to mix until it starts to form the shape of a ball.
Take one tablespoon of the formed dough, roll it into smaller balls, then place it flat on baking sheets lined by Parchment Paper. It is important to use Parchment Paper helps prevent the candy from sticking. Continue until all peppermint patties have created.
The flattened Keto Peppermint Patty cores for 1 hour.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl, in a microwave safe bowl, heat for 30 second, then mix (approximately one and a half minutes). The kind and brand of chocolate chips you use (semi-sweet. milk, dark and more) it is possible to include a little bit of Grass-Fed butter to it prior to melting. There’s a reason why some of the chocolates made without sugar tend to condense in the microwave and melt into a spongy, airy mixture rather than melting. It’s possible to play around with the chocolates you’ve got even if you’ve not previously melted them.
Utilizing a fork, swiftly dip the peppermint patties into melting chocolate. Once it has had the chance to cool, then tap on an edge to eliminate any excess chocolate and put them back on the parchment paper to allow the chocolate to become set. The chocolate will set when it is at temperatures of room temperature.
If you’d like to speed up the chocolate setting time, you can put the patties in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
Remaining food items should be stored in an air-tight container. the option of refrigeration is not required.
