Homemade Coconut Peppermint Patties are a delightful, dairy-free treat combining shredded coconut, maple syrup, and refreshing peppermint, coated in rich dark chocolate. Perfect as a festive snack or a guilt-free indulgence, these patties are easy to make with simple ingredients and require no baking.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded or desiccated unsweetened coconut
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 2/3 cup (100 grams) dairy-free dark chocolate, chopped or chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coconut Mixture: Add the shredded coconut, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and peppermint extract to a high-powered blender. Blend on high, breaking up the coconut into smaller pieces and continuing until the mixture clumps and sticks together. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure even blending.
  2. Shape the Patties: Transfer the blended coconut mixture to a small bowl. Scoop out a packed, level tablespoon of the mixture (approximately eight tablespoons in total). Shape each portion into a small round disc and place them gently on a plate. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes to allow the coconut oil to harden and the patties to firm up.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: Bring a small pot of water to a simmer on the stovetop. Break the dairy-free dark chocolate into pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over the simmering water, stirring occasionally until the chocolate is fully melted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before use.
  4. Dip the Patties in Chocolate: Once the patties are firm, use a fork to dip each one into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Place the coated patties onto wax paper to set. Repeat the process until all patties are covered. Optionally, drizzle any remaining chocolate over the top for extra decoration.
  5. Set the Patties: Allow the chocolate-coated patties to set at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator to speed up the hardening process before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the peppermint extract is pure for the best flavor.
  • You can substitute maple syrup with agave nectar or another liquid sweetener if preferred.
  • For a firmer texture, refrigerate the patties longer before dipping in chocolate.
  • Use dairy-free chocolate to keep the recipe vegan and dairy-free.
  • Store finished patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
