Keto Meltaway Peppermints

Holiday season is here and we all know what that means!  Holiday food and lots of it!  This year is the first year my whole family has been on a Keto friendly way of living.  Before we were mostly paleo but this year we switched it up a bit and added in a few organic milk products.  That has made it possible to add in some super fun things for the holidays like these amazing Keto Meltaways!  Yum! 

They are super simple to make! 

8oz Organic Cream Cheese
3/4 cup Lakanto Golden Monkfruit Sweetener (Powdered into about 1 and 3/4’s cups with a coffee grinder)
6 drops Young Living Peppermint Vitality Oil


First using a coffee grinder powder the golden monkfruit sweetener.  You can use another powdered sweetener instead but I like the taste and consistency that this provides.  Soften Cream cheese with a mixer and slowly add in the powdered monkfruit sweetener.  Once the monkfruit is all added then add in the 6 drops of peppermint vitality oil.  If you like really strong peppermint you can add a couple extra drops.  Also if desired you can add organic food coloring.  Roll into balls, place on a silicone mat, and use a fork to make ridges on the mints.  Put fork into some extra powdered sweetener to keep the mints from sticking to the fork.  Last put tray in freezer for 1/2 hour.  Then remove the mints from the tray and store in the freezer.  They last a long time unless your children find them, or husband.

This will make approximately 36 mints.  If you eat two per serving it is approximately 29 calories, 2.9 grams of fat, .4 carbohydrates, and .4 protein.  This was found through MyFitnessPal app.
