Ingredients

Peppermint filling:

½ cup unflavored casein protein powder 42g
⅛ teaspoon stevia powder about 6 scoops
½ cup unsweetened almond milk 120ml (or any milk)
⅛ teaspoon alcohol-free peppermint extract 0.6ml
1 tablespoon coconut oil melted, 14g

Chocolate coating:

45 g unsweetened chocolate melted
4 scoops stevia powder or to taste

Instructions

Mix the casein and stevia. Set aside.
In another bowl mix the almond milk and peppermint flavor. Then add to casein and stevia.
Mix together until combined well.
Add coconut oil, and mix in. You may want to use your hands.
Roll or press this dough about ¼" thick on a sheet of parchment paper.
Cover with more parchment or plastic wrap and freeze for about 10 minutes.
Mix together your melted chocolate and stevia for the chocolate coating. Set aside.
Once dough is removed from freezer, cut out your circle patties and place them on a sheet of parchment paper. Gather your scraps and press the dough again to make all 14 patties.
Using a fork, dip each patty in the chocolate. Set on parchment-lined tray.
Once all patties are coated, set the tray in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to set.
Enjoy! These should be fine sitting out for a few hours, but for longer storage keep them in the refrigerator.

Notes

A note about substitutions: because each type of protein powder has a different texture, I would only recommend casein protein powder in this recipe. DO NOT USE WHEY PROTEIN. It won't work. I promise.

For vegan or non-dairy versions, I would use coconut butter + mint flavor + confectioners erythritol for the filling, and leave out the protein.
