I love peppermint-flavored sweets, but it’s hard to find clean, healthy options, so we created our own using simple ingredients like shredded coconut, 100% pistachio butter, freeze-dried raspberries, pure peppermint extract, Medjool dates, and 90% dark chocolate. A refreshing, colorful treat for the holiday season.

Complete list of ingredients

You only need a few ingredients to make these truffles:

• 1 1/4 cups shredded coconut (desiccated coconut)
• 1/3 cup pistachio butter
• 1/2 cup freeze-dried raspberries + more for decorating
• 2 big Medjool dates, chopped (if you have small dates, use 4)

How to make coconut peppermint truffles

These sugar-free peppermint truffles need no cooking other than melting the chocolate.

• Mix the coconut, pistachio, raspberries, dates, peppermint, and vanilla in a food processor.
• Take out in a bowl, and make small balls with the composition. Even if it seems crumbly, it will stick together. Put them in the fridge for 1 hour.
• Warm the chocolate in a small saucepan, on very low heat, until melted.
• Coat the truffles in the melted chocolate and sprinkle with the three toppings: raspberries, coconut, and pistachio.
• Refrigerate before serving, or freeze.
