Mint Patties/Mint Slice Biscuits

These are very easy to make and you could make mint slice biscuits too by adding the chocolate biscuit component! Recipe from Vegan In The Freezer. I thought they could use a bit more peppermint flavour so next time I think maybe 6-8 drops.

Mint Patties

Ingredients

2 cup Powdered Sugar, vegan/organic
1/2 cup Coconut Oil (melted)
4 teaspoons Peppermint Extract (food grade)
2 cups chocolate of your choice for dipping.
2 tablespoon extra of coconut oil to mix in with the chocolate.


Method

Sift the powdered sugar into a large bowl.
Add the 1/4 cup melted oil and the peppermint extract.
Mix with a hand mixer until smooth.
Get a large container or tray and line with freezer paper.
Take 1 Tbls of mixture and form a ball and then press down to form your pattie shape.
Once all mixture is used put in the freezer for about 15-30 minutes or so until it hardens a bit.
Melt the chocolate over a double broiler (I just use a stainless steel bowl that fits over a saucepan of boiling water.
Stir in the 1 Tablespoon of extra oil for thinning the chocolate a bit.
Take the mint rounds out of the freezer.
Pop one mint at a time into the melted chocolate and use a fork (or two) to coat and then using the fork place on the parchment paper.
To avoid having extra chocolate form under the pattie you can place on a cookie rack.
Place all patties into the fridge for 30 minutes or until chocolate is hard.
You can then double dip them if you like.
Once they are all hard I place them in a container in the freezer.
They take hardly any time to defrost and frankly taste pretty good straight out of the freezer!
