Method

Tap a time to watch that step in the video.

  1. Beat the softened coconut oil with the coconut cream until combined. 0:51
  2. Beat in the powdered sweetener and peppermint extract until smooth, like buttercream frosting. 1:25
  3. Drop spoonfuls onto a wax-paper-lined tray that fits in your freezer and shape each into a rough round — about 12 patties. 2:06
  4. Freeze for about 2 hours, until firm enough to dip. 2:58
  5. Melt the chocolate with a little cocoa butter in a bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth and thin enough to coat. 3:10
  6. Working quickly with frozen patties, dip each one in the chocolate with two forks, turn it, tap off the excess and set it back on the paper. 4:18
  7. Let the coating set and keep the patties in the fridge. 5:13

Tip. Start with 1 tsp peppermint extract and add more to taste. The cocoa butter keeps the chocolate shell thin; coconut oil works but makes it thinner still. In hot weather, dip one patty at a time straight from the freezer.

Iron3%

0.6 mg a serve, mostly from sugar-free dark chocolate (89%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Magnesium2%

7.9 mg a serve, mostly from sugar-free dark chocolate (90%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.

Potassium1%

30 mg a serve, mostly from sugar-free dark chocolate (70%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.

Zinc1%

0.1 mg a serve, mostly from sugar-free dark chocolate (81%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.

Calcium0%

3.3 mg a serve, mostly from sugar-free dark chocolate (87%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.

Vitamin A0%

0 µg a serve. Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.

Vitamin C0%

0.1 mg a serve, mostly from coconut cream (100%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.

Vitamin D0%

0 µg a serve. Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.

Vitamin E0%

0 mg a serve, mostly from cocoa butter (62%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.

Vitamin K0%

0.4 µg a serve, mostly from cocoa butter (84%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.

Folate0%

0.6 µg a serve, mostly from coconut cream (100%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.

Vitamin B120%

0 µg a serve. Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Vitamin B60%

0 mg a serve, mostly from coconut cream (100%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.

Selenium0%

0.2 µg a serve, mostly from coconut cream (100%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.

Omega-30%

0 g a serve, mostly from cocoa butter (100%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
