INGREDIENTS

1.      1 tsp mint extract

2.      1/2 tsp spirulina (I get mine from Thrive Market)

3.      1/4 cup (30g) cacao nibs

4.      1 cup (180g) chocolate chips, melted***

5.      2 cups (140g) unsweetened shredded coconut

6.      1/2 cup (100g) coconut cream*

7.      2 tbsp (40g) maple syrup (**see notes for sugar-free option)

INSTRUCTIONS

1.      In a food processor or blender, process the coconut until finely ground (but don�t go to long/high speed or it will turn into coconut butter).

2.      Add the coconut cream, sweetener, mint extract, and spirulina. Process to form a sticky dough.

3.      Add the cacao nibs, and blend briefly to mix them in.

4.      Scoop out a heaping tablespoon of dough and shape into a cookie. Repeat until all the batter is used, you should get about 12 cookies. If it won�t stick together or is too soft to shape, chill for 10 minutes first.

5.      Freeze for at least 15 minutes to harden.

6.      Dip/coat in melted chocolate. Sprinkle with cacao nibs.

7.      Refrigerate or freeze until firm. In the fridge the center will be soft like a peppermint patty, in the freezer it will be firm like a cookie.

8.      Enjoy!

NOTES

*Or the solid part from a can of full-fat coconut milk that�s been chilled overnight.

**To make them sugar free, use approximately 12-15 drops liquid stevia or monk fruit or sugar-free sweetener of choice, and increase the coconut cream to 3/4 cup (150g).

***For the sugar-free version, use stevia-sweetened chips or unsweetened chocolate chips.
