How We Developed This Recipe
We wanted to create a homemade peppermint patty that stayed true to the classic candy while using simple, better-for-you ingredients. Coconut butter creates an incredibly creamy filling, while monk fruit sweetener provides just the right amount of sweetness without refined sugar.
For the chocolate coating, we chose Pascha 100% Single Ingredient Dark Chocolate Chips, made with nothing but organic cacao. Their bold chocolate flavor perfectly complements the cool peppermint center while keeping the recipe keto-friendly and vegan.
By using the chocolate seeding method, the coating sets with a beautiful shine and satisfying snap, making these homemade candies look just as impressive as they taste.

How to Make Keto 5 Ingredient Peppermint Patties
Step 1: Make the Peppermint Filling
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the coconut butter, coconut oil, monk fruit sweetener, and peppermint extract.
Stir until smooth, creamy, and fully combined.
Step 2: Shape the Patties
Line a tray or plate with parchment paper.
Scoop the peppermint mixture into evenly sized mounds.
Place another sheet of parchment paper over the top and gently press each mound into a flat disc.
Transfer to the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight until completely firm.
Step 3: Temper the Chocolate
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the Pascha 100% Single Ingredient Dark Chocolate Chips.
Using a double boiler, melt the remaining chocolate until smooth.
Remove from the heat, add the reserved chocolate chips, and allow them to sit for a few minutes before stirring until completely smooth and glossy.
Step 4: Dip the Peppermint Patties
Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each frozen peppermint disc in the melted chocolate.
Gently tap off the excess chocolate before placing each patty back onto the parchment paper.
Allow the chocolate to fully harden before serving.
Store refrigerated until ready to enjoy.
Pro Tips
- Freeze the peppermint filling completely before dipping.
- Use a fork to easily lift and coat each patty.
- Stir the tempered chocolate gently to maintain a glossy finish.
- Work in small batches so the filling stays cold.
- Refrigerate finished patties for the cleanest texture.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these peppermint patties really keto?
Yes! They're made with monk fruit sweetener and Pascha 100% Single Ingredient Dark Chocolate Chips, making them suitable for many keto lifestyles. Be sure to calculate nutrition based on the exact products you use.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely. They store well in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Can I freeze them?
Yes! Freeze in an airtight container for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Why reserve some of the chocolate before melting?
Adding unmelted chocolate after melting (called the seeding method) helps naturally temper the chocolate, giving it a smoother finish and better snap.
Can I use another Pascha chocolate?
Yes, although it will no longer be strictly keto. Pascha 85% Cacao Dark Chocolate Chips are a great option if you prefer a slightly sweeter flavor.
