Servings: 14
Calories: 93kcal
Ingredients
Filling
- ¼ cup butter 57g, must be very soft. Take out of the fridge the night before.
- ⅓ cup powdered sweetener 60g, I recommend erythritol-based sweeteners
- ½ cup mascarpone 120g, must be room temperature!
- ¾ teaspoon peppermint extract
Chocolate Shell
- 5.3 oz dark chocolate 150g, I used Lindt 90%, or use ¾ cup sugar free chocolate chips
- optional sugar free candy crushed, to decorate. I used Ricola Cranberry Flavour
Instructions
Filling
- Put the very soft butter and powdered sweetener into a small mixing bowl. Blend with a fork until smooth.
- Add the room temperature mascarpone and peppermint extract. Continue mixing with the fork until a smooth dough forms.
- Portion the peppermint filling with a measuring tablespoon (12g each). Roll into a ball with your hands and flatten on a tray lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze for 30 minutes until firm.
Chocolate Shell
- Break the chocolate into squares (or use sugar free chocolate chips) and put in a small bowl. Melt in a water bath or in a microwave in 30 second intervals.
- Using 2 forks, dip the patties one by one in the melted chocolate, then place them onto parchment paper. Option to add sugar free sprinkles, freeze-dried raspberry powder or any other topping of your choice straight away, while the chocolate is still soft.
- Place the patties back in the freezer or into the fridge until set, around 10 minutes. Store in the refrigerator.
Notes
Net carbs: 1g per peppermint patty (with sugar free chocolate chips). Makes 14 patties.
Net carbs with 90% Lindt chocolate: 1.7g / 111 calories per peppermint patty. (Nutrition calculated with 120g chocolate as there is a little wastage.)
Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Suitable for freezing.
If you want to use cream cheese instead of the mascarpone, I recommend that use ⅓ cup butter and ⅓ cup cream cheese.
