Vegan After Eights - Peppermint Patties
These homemade vegan After Eights only require four simple ingredients to make. You can recreate this classic British after dinner mint in only a few minutes, and no oven is required! Plus, they're dairy, nut and gluten free!
Ingredients
- 11 ounces fondant
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 8 ounces dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Sprinkle the peppermint extract over the fondant and knead until it's evenly distributed throughout the fondant.
- Break off 1 tablespoon of fondant and roll it into a ball. Flatten it into a disk and transfer to the baking tray. You should end up with 10-12 pieces.
- In a small bowl, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave, stirring at 30 second intervals. Allow the chocolate to cool.
- Dip the peppermint patties into the chocolate, allowing the excess chocolate to drip off. If there are marks in the chocolate where your fingers were, even out the chocolate with a knife. Put the After Eights on the baking tray to set.
Notes
- Vegan After Eights are naturally gluten, dairy and nut free.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
