Time 2h10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

14 oz full fat coconut milk, room temperature
⅓ cup sugar
½ cup fresh baby spinach, loosely packed
½ teaspoon peppermint extract
14 oz coconut cream, chilled
1 tablespoon refined coconut oil, melted
⅓ cup cacao nibs, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a small pot over medium heat, whisk together the coconut milk and sugar. Cook for 20-25 minutes, until thickened and reduced by nearly half. Remove the pot from the heat and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  • Once cooled, transfer the coconut milk mixture to a high-speed blender and add the spinach and mint extract. Blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds, until the spinach is completely broken down and the mixture has a minty green hue.
  • Add the coconut cream to a chilled metal bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, beat the coconut cream on high speed for 3 minutes, until soft peaks form. Add the melted coconut oil and briefly whip to combine.
  • Add the spinach mixture to the whipped coconut cream mixture and beat on medium speed for 1 minute, until well combined and fluffy. Fold in the cacao nibs.
  • Distribute the mixture evenly between the prepared muffin cups. Top with more cacao nibs.
  • Freeze the cups for 30-60 minutes, until set but not too hard to bite through. Serve immediately, or keep in the freezer to let harden completely, then let sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to soften before serving.
  • Enjoy!
