Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons of plant-based milk plus more as needed
- 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract
- 4 cups of powdered sugar plus more as needed
- 2 cups of vegan semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a full-size baking sheet pan with parchment paper or silicone mats and set them in the refrigerator.
- In a large bowl and using an electric mixer, mix the plant-based milk, peppermint extract, and powdered sugar. The texture should be like playdough. It can't be sticky, runny, or too dry. If it is too sticky, add more powdered sugar ¼ cup at a time. If it is too dry, add more plant-based milk 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Once the dough is ready, scoop 1 tablespoon of dough into your hand, roll it into a perfect ball, and flatten it into a disc ½ inch thick. Place it on the chilled tray. Repeat the process until there is no more dough left.
- Place the trays filled with the mint patties back in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- When ready, place the vegan chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl. Melt the vegan chocolate by microwaving it for 30 seconds and stir. Repeat the process until the vegan chocolate is completely melted. Do not overcook or it will burn and dry out.
- Using a fork or spoon, dip one of the peppermint patties into the vegan chocolate and allow it to drip as much as possible. Place it back on the baking sheet. Repeat the process until all of the vegan peppermint patties are covered in vegan chocolate.
- Place the trays back in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before enjoying.
Notes
- Chill them properly: This ensures the patties hold their shape and the vegan chocolate sets faster.
- Taste and adjust: Add a little less/more peppermint. Just note too much can taste a little too medicinal/toothpaste-like.
- For a smoother vegan chocolate coating: Add a spoonful of coconut oil to the melted vegan chocolate. It makes it more shiny, too.
- Adjust the size: You can make them any size you’d like!
