Vegan Mint Slices (gluten-free, sugar-free)

Filling
 2 cups Natural Cashews

 2 tbsp Coconut Oil
 6 Large Dates
 2 tsp Peppermint Extract
 4 drops Peppermint Oiloptional, for a stronger kick
Chocolate Coating

1

To make blending easier, soak the cashews and the dates in enough water to cover them at least an hour in advance.

2

Blend all the ingredients for the filling in a high-speed blender, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl as you go.

3

Once blended, scoop the filling mixture out into a container and freeze for 30 minutes, when it's solid enough to shape into slices.

4

When the mixture is solid enough to shape, form it into balls and press them gently to create the mint slice shape. Lay them out on a parchment lined pan and freeze for another hour.

5

When the hour is almost up, get started on the chocolate coating. Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil in either the microwave (in 10 second intervals) or by placing the bowl of chocolate on a pan of boiling water. (make sure the water does not touch the chocolate)

6

Dip the shaped fillings into the chocolate one by one and freeze them for another 15 minutes. And they're ready to enjoy!
