In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened coconut oil, powdered monk fruit sweetener, and peppermint extract. Whisk or beat until the mixture is wonderfully smooth and creamy. If your coconut oil is a bit too firm, you can microwave it for just a few seconds until it's slightly melted but not hot.
Drop spoonfuls of this peppermint mixture onto a sheet of wax paper. Gently flatten each mound into a neat patty shape using the back of a spoon or a knife.
Transfer the formed patties to the freezer for about 15 minutes to allow them to firm up completely.
While the patties are chilling, prepare your delicious chocolate coating. In a separate small, microwave-safe bowl, warm the ⅓ cup coconut oil and 1 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener together until they are just melted and well combined. Then, whisk in the cacao powder until the mixture is smooth and beautifully glossy.
Working quickly, take each frozen peppermint patty and dip it into the warm chocolate coating. Make sure each patty gets an even, generous coat, then place it back onto the wax paper.
For an extra luxurious and thicker coating, feel free to dip each patty 1-2 more times, allowing the chocolate to set briefly between each dip.
Let your delectable patties set fully at room temperature in a cool spot, or pop them in the refrigerator for even faster setting. You can store these treats on the counter in a cool place, in the fridge, or freeze them in an airtight container for a sweet indulgence whenever you wish!
