These Sugar Free Peppermint Patties are simple to make and can also be made paleo. Perfect for a Keto Low Carb treat!
Peppermint Patty
Take a bite into a peppermint patty and enjoy the soft minty flavor in every bite! If you're on a keto diet then traditional peppermint patties are off limits, but it's very easy to make these sugar free and keto! I love them even more than knowing I can enjoy 4 little mint peppermint patties for just 1 carb! No guilt and I can stay within my macros.
I wrote this recipe back in May of 2013 so I felt like a little update was needed. Added a video and some new photos but the basic original recipe wasn't modified much, but in fact I made the directions a bit easier. This is one of the older pics I decided to keep as you can see how great than minty filling is.
If you're trying to pull these off with your family who may not be too keen on keto treats, I'd suggest buying the mold. That way, they look pretty similar to traditional peppermint patties and they will be more inclined to want to try them. I've made them free forming the shapes which are fine too, but I like the mold shape best as you know you've definitely got them all even and with an accurate amount for each one.
Easy Peppermint Patty
If you have a blender which I think most everyone does, the ingredients just get blended, then shaped or in a mold, frozen and then coated in chocolate. This peppermint patty recipe could't be any easier really and that's why I love it so much!
Best Peppermint Patty Recipe
Silicone molds are perfect for candy making. You don't need to grease them and everything just easily pops right out. I used a silicone mold when I made these before and they were a bit larger, but I chose this plastic mold for the mini shape I felt was more resemblant of the patties. These received winning approval from my ENTIRE picky family! Hubby, teen and two younger kiddies, plus a friend and her daughter that stopped by as well!
However you decide to make them, they will be a hit. Homemade candy doesn't have to be so intimidating.

I felt something was missing as a regular pattie recipe has powdered sugar as the base ingredient. In order to keep sugar free,I used 2 pkgs of sugar free cheesecake pudding mix and added solid coconut oil and heavy cream mixed to create a dough then kneaded in the peppermint extract to taste. Formed the "dough" into a log and refrigerated it for several hours. When set solid enough to handle, I sliced the log into the thickness desired then let set out to become dry to handle for dipping in the appropriate melted chocolate. I did not add Stevia as sweeteners were in the pudding mix. Not stark white as regular peppermint patties, but the taste was de-light-fully scrumptious.

Hi Brenda, I want to try this recipe but I’m watching the video and your coconut oil looks so opaque to me, almost like coconut cream. The coconut oil I have is from Trader Joe’s and it’s a bit translucent. I think maybe I’ve got the wrong type. What kind of coconut oil are you using in the video?
Brenda
It should work with any coconut oil so no worries on if they look a bit different.

I am trying to see how you get 54 of these (14 servings of 4 patties) with only about 2/3 cup of liquid ingredients. Am I missing something in the ingredients?
Christie
My daughter found your recipe and made these; they are a favorite in our house now. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Yoda
I'm at the same point. Did you find a resolution?
Becky
I just made these, following the recipe to a T. Unfortunately they did not work out for me. The peppermint flavor was too strong, the chocolate would not stuck to the frozen disks and the texture of them was just off to me. I ended up throwing it all in a loaf pan and freezing it again. Hopefully I can use it somehow. Thank you for sharing though!

I doubled the coconut but not the peppermint, it toned it down for me. I also popped the mint patties out of the molds, dropped a bit of melted chocolate in the mold, dropped the mint pattie back in pressed down and topped off with more melted
chocolate if need be. I was struggling to get the melted chocolate to stick too!
Alison R.
I can’t get the melted chocolate to stick - it literally just melted the frozen patty 🙁
Robin
COULD I USE Butter instead of coconut oil?
Brenda
You could though I've not tried it and the coconut oil will make it taste more like a peppermint patty than butter will.

I made 2 batches of sugarless peppermint patties with this oil and they were scrumptious. Then I ran out and Aldi was closed, so I bought 'Pure' coconut cooking oil from Woollies and made them. They were truly revolting!

I make alot of keto recipes because I AM not diabetic, I HAVE diabetes type 1. These treats doesn't affect my bloodsugar! ?
Stevia is not a favourite. I'll try Hermesetas or sukralose.
Tara
Peppermint slice biscuits have always been my number one favourite biscuit. I don't buy them for this very reason! I am so going to try this recipe but using coconut cream instead of dairy cream, and home made chocolate to coat. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Robin
Can anything be substituted for the liquid stevia? They look amazing, can't wait to make them!
Feelosopher
The consistency was not like a peppermint patty. Too dense and almost like hardened butter. Not soft and chewy.
Christy
These look soooo good!! so they each have 6.7 net carbs? is that from the chocolate? I'm new to this & learning... 🙂
lauren
Anything that you think would work in place of the heavy cream for a lactose intolerant fan=)
Brenda
maybe thick coconut cream?
Whit @ Jewhungry
Looooove these. It's a wonderful idea for a Shabbat treat. Thanks for the recipe (am also coveting flower molds). 🙂
Beth
It shows a serving size of 18 for 10 carbs, is that right? 🙂
Opal
Seriously. You shared them??? I'd be lucky if they'd last long enough for the chocolate to harden.
Brenda
LOL 🙂
