- ¾ cup powdered erythritol (or other keto sweetener)
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 1 ½ cups sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (for melting chocolate)
📖 Instructions
- Make the filling: In a bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Mix in powdered erythritol and peppermint extract until creamy.
- Shape patties: Roll mixture into small balls, then flatten into discs. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze 20–30 minutes until firm.
