Equipment

Small saucepan
Whisk
Silicone mint molds or baking sheet with parchment paper

Ingredients

½ cup coconut oil 120 ml
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 22 g
¼ cup powdered erythritol 48 g
½ tsp peppermint extract 2 ml
⅛ tsp green food coloring optional for color, 0.5 ml
Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

In a small saucepan, gently melt the coconut oil over low heat until it becomes liquid.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder until well combined with no lumps.
Stir in the powdered erythritol, ensuring it dissolves completely into the mixture.
Add the peppermint extract and a pinch of sea salt, mixing thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.
If desired, add a small amount of green food coloring and stir until you achieve a uniform minty hue.
Pour the mixture into silicone mint molds or drop small spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to form individual mints.
Place the mints in the freezer to set for about 1 hour, or until they are firm to the touch.
Once set, gently remove the mints from the molds or parchment paper and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

The erythritol can be substituted with another keto-friendly sweetener if desired, but be sure to adjust the quantity to taste as sweetness levels may vary.

Store the mints in the refrigerator to maintain their firm texture.

For a stronger mint flavor, you can adjust the amount of peppermint extract, but be cautious as it is quite potent.

Enjoy these Keto Friendly After Dinner Mints as a fresh and delightful end to any meal or as a mid-day breath freshener.
