Author Lindsey Dietz

Ingredients

• 2-1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut (plus extra, for garnish)
• 1/4 cup raw honey mild
• 3 tablespoons cacao butter melted but not hot
• 2 to 3 drops peppermint essential oil or 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract; see below

Instructions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender or food processor.
3. Process on medium speed until the ingredients come together to form a dough that folds in on itself.
4. Use a 1-tablespoon cookie dough scoop to scoop up balls of dough and place them on the lined baking sheet.
5. Next, roll each dough ball in a bit of extra coconut, or sprinkle the top of each ball with a bit of coconut. This gives a fluffy, flake-y, snowball appearance.
6. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes.
7. Serve and enjoy!
8. Store these snowballs in the freezer.

Recipe Notes

• Prefer not to use peppermint essential oil? Substitute peppermint extract instead, starting with 1/2 teaspoon and adding more if stronger peppermint flavor is desired.
• This recipe cannot be made with stevia. The honey acts as a "glue" to hold the snowballs together, so there would not be enough stickiness if stevia were used. However, there is less than a teaspoon of honey in each bite, so indulging in 1 or 2 is probably ok. 😉
