Peppermint Cups Recipe

1

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut (reserve 1-2 Tablespoons on the side as garnish)
1 Tablespoon melted coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Optional: 2 drops of peppermint essential oil
12 ounces (350 grams) high quality dark chocolate

Preparation

Step 1

Combine coconut butter, vanilla, and peppermint extract

Melt Chocolate

Place a spoonful of melted chocolate into the wrapper, smoothing it out with the back of the spoon to create sides and a bottom. Refrigerate until hardened.

Then, scoop a small amount of the filling into the cup and flatten until it covers the bottom. Hint: one batch of the coconut butter filling should make ~6 large cups or 10-12 small ones.

Place another spoonful of melted chocolate on top and smooth out. Refrigerate to harden.
Store in the refrigerator for best results. May also be kept frozen!
