Author: Maria Emmerich
Serves: 12
Ingredients
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
1 cup cream cheese, softened (or Kite Hill brand if dairy free)
¼ cup Swerve confectioners, or equivalent (to desired sweetness)
1 teaspoon mint extract
Chocolate Coating:
¾ cup whipping cream (or coconut cream: top part of coconut milk)
⅓ cup Swerve confectioners’-style sweetener or equivalent
2 oz unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
1 vanilla bean scraped clean or ½ tsp vanilla extract
Garnish with Mint Leaves
Instructions
Place the heavy cream in a chilled bowl and beat until stiff peaks form. Add in the softened cream cheese, natural sweetened and vanilla; combine until smooth.
Place the mixture into a bendable chocolate mold(I used this muffin pan and placed it on a cookie sheet for stability). Place in freezer until frozen.
To make chocolate coating, place the cream, chopped chocolate and natural sweetener in a double boiler or in a heat safe bowl over simmering water. Heat on low heat while stirring just until chocolate melts. Remove from heat. Add in the vanilla bean seeds.
Dip cooled/frozen coconut mixtures into chocolate, return to wax paper, and place in freezer to set.
