raw peppermint patties!
ingredients:
1/2 batch of raw chocolate
1/4 cup cashews
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 tbsp honey
1/4 tsp peppermint oil
directions:
in a food processor, grind cashews and shredded coconut together into a fine powder. add coconut oil, peppermint oil, and honey, and pulse until combined - be careful not to over process! place in refrigerator to set while you make the chocolate sauce, which will need to be warmed slightly inside a bowl of hot water to ensure a liquid consistency. once the cream has hardened, use a tablespoon measure to section out nine equal portions, which can then be shaped into patties with your hands - i find the best method is to roll the cream into a ball and press it flat. place patties in the freezer for 10 minutes or so. when the patties are fairly cold, dip them one at a time into the chocolate sauce, which should harden immediately. i was able to dip each patty about three times before i ran out of chocolate. these will keep in the freezer for a week or two, and in the fridge for about three days.
