Filling Ingredients:
- 2 cups cashews, unsalted and unroasted
- 1 cup almond milk, unsweetened
- 1/4 cup agave or other liquid sweetener
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 2-3 teaspoons peppermint extract
Chocolate Coating Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup melted cacao butter
- 1/2 cup cacao powder, unsweetened
- 3 tablespoons agave or other liquid sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Yield: 12 patties
1. Blend all filling ingredients until creamy in a high-speed blender, giving your blender a rest if/when needed (Image 1).
2. Line a square brownie tin (9-inch) with parchment paper (Image 2). Pour the mixture into the brownie tin, and transfer to the freezer for 3-4 hours or until firm enough to cut out circles (Image 3). Once firm, remove filling from the brownie tin and place it on another sheet of parchment paper (Image 4).
3. Use a cookie cutter or circular shaping tool to cut out even-sized circles (Image 5). Transfer back to the freezer.
