Peppermint Patty Pop
I was thinking about how much I liked to eat Peppermint Patties in the past and after some thought, came up with this all raw version that was amazingly good. Yes...the inside is green instead of white, but what do you expect? I actually used mint leaves!
Equipment: Lollipop molds and sticks. I got mine at AC Moore very reasonably
Or...you can use the mini cup cake paper holders if you want to.
Chocolate first:
3/4 c agave
1 C melted cocoa butter (Get a hot bowl of water and put it in a smaller bowl inside)
1/4 C melted coconut oil
1/2 vanilla bean scraped or vanilla extract
1/2 c raw cocoa powder (You can find it online)
1/4 tsp sea salt to bring out the sweetness
Now blend it until smooth
Mint filling:
1 Frozen 1lb package of young Coconut meat (I get it at the Asian markets frozen like that)Or if you can't find it frozen use 1 lb of fresh young Thai coconut meat
1/2 c agave
1/4 c mint leaves
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
1/4 c coconut oil melted
Mix this up in a blender. Now you are ready to assemble.
Put plastic wrap on top of your mold or you will have problems getting it out. Trust me...I learned the hard way. With the plastic, you can just lift it out of the mold with no sticking.
Put a dab of chocolate then freeze it for 10 minutes.
After it is a little hard, put a dab of the filling and freeze a little.
Then put your lollipop stick in there with the rest of the chocolate on top.
I let it freeze for several hours.
My son says it tastes like a peppermint patty ice cream pop...
I am proud of this one! :)
