As promised yesterday, I think I have a moment to slide in this Christmassy, minty recipe. I love recipes with a simple ratio and few ingredients: easy to remember, easy to replicate.
Back to the recipe, to which both angels give their blessing:
Peppermint Coconut Mounds (raw, vegan, low sugar)
1/2 cup coconut butter (not oil), melted
1 cup shredded coconut
2 tablespoons coconut nectar
2 tablespoons xylitol
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
pinch vanilla powder
pinch salt
Stir the shredded coconut into the melted coconut butter. Mix in the coconut nectar, peppermint, vanilla, xylitol and salt, and stir together very well.
Let stand for a minute to let firm up (in our home, this just means don't stir it for a moment, but if your home is warmer, you may need to refrigerate for 20 minutes).
Form into balls, or whatever shape you prefer, and then dip in melted chocolate, or melted carob chocolate, depending on which angel is blessing you at that time.
Happy, peaceful holidays to you all, and may the angels be with you.
I love your good angel/bad angel metaphors here. I hope you were able to enjoy both. I'd love to try these! It would be a fun gift to give this time of year.
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy. I used to eat Mounds bars all the time as a child. These are so much better for you, and so cute, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, bitt--yes, they are so delicious both ways, and I agree they'd be great gifts too.

Thanks, Shannonmarie--yes, gosh I've been busy! It almost feels weird not having goodies to make now, but I have masses of work to keep up with too.
