With Christmas and the holidays just around the corner, I want to add to your festive cheer, so I'm sharing my Chocolate Mint Balls recipe that is low in sugar, has a low GI and is delicious! You can also spice up this recipe with some Rum or Bailey's if you feel so inclined.
Most of us will have rich foods and drinks during the Festive season. Make sure you read my blog from last week with lots of Festive Season Health Hacks, and remember to stock up on our Rejuv Party Pack to support your digestive system and detox pathways.
Chocolate Mint Balls
Ingredients
- ½ cup virgin coconut oil
- ½ cup cocoa
- Five drops of food-grade peppermint extract
- ¼ cup finely chopped macadamia nuts (if you have a nut allergy, leave these out)
- pinch of finely ground sea salt
- ½ teaspoon stevia drops
- For the adults, add one tablespoon of rum if desired
Method
- On low heat, melt the ingredients, stirring continuously not to burn.
- You can either pour into silicone moulds as is or line the moulds with shredded coconut for that extra festive look. You can keep in traditional balls or use holiday shapes like hearts, candy canes, Christmas trees etc.
- Freeze the Chocolate Mint Balls until they harden.
- Remove from silicone moulds and serve with tea, coffee, or your favourite Christmas beverage.
