RECIPE FAQS

Do I need to toast the coconut?

I didn’t toast the shredded coconut for this version, but it works well either way. Anything to save a bit of time is always a big plus for me, when I have a lot going on.

What are the storage recommendations for this recipe?

Yes you can! You can keep stored in your refrigerator for up to 1 week or you can store in the freezer for up to 6 months. You will need allow 5 minutes to thaw them out before eating.

What is better – essential oil or extract?

I highly recommend using a food grade peppermint essential oil if you can. Peppermint extract is just not the same as a good quality essential oil and the flavour is definitely not the same.
