Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 cups (140g) unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup (100g) coconut cream*
- 2 tbsp (40g) maple syrup
- 1 tsp mint extract
- 1/2 tsp spirulina
Add-ins
- 1/4 cup (30g) cacao nibs
- 1 cup (180g) chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- Grind the Coconut: In a food processor or blender, pulse the shredded coconut until it is finely ground but be careful not to over-process, or it will turn into coconut butter.
- Form the Dough: Add the coconut cream, maple syrup, mint extract, and spirulina to the ground coconut. Process again until a sticky dough forms.
- Incorporate Cacao Nibs: Add the cacao nibs and briefly pulse just to mix them into the dough evenly.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop out heaping tablespoons of dough and shape into cookies. You should get about 12. If the dough is too soft or won’t stick, chill it in the fridge for 10 minutes before shaping.
- Freeze to Harden: Place shaped cookies in the freezer for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
- Coat in Chocolate: Dip or coat each cookie in melted chocolate chips and sprinkle with extra cacao nibs on top for texture and garnish.
- Set the Cookies: Refrigerate or freeze the coated cookies until the chocolate is firm. Store in the fridge for a softer, peppermint-patty-like center or in the freezer for a firmer cookie texture.
- Enjoy: Serve chilled and enjoy your refreshing no-bake mint chip cookies!
Notes
- For a sugar-free option, substitute maple syrup with a sugar-free sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit syrup.
- Use high-quality peppermint extract for the best flavor.
- Be cautious not to turn shredded coconut into butter when processing.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
