Servings: 14 servings
Calories: 37kcal
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.
