INGREDIENTS

3 large Egg (Whole)
0 3/16 cup Coconut Milk Unsweetened
0 1/4 cup Xylitol
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
0 3/4 tsp Peppermint Extract
7 tablespoon Unsalted Butter Stick
4 Tbsp Organic High Fiber Coconut Flour
2 tbsp Cocoa Powder (Unsweetened)
0 1/4 tsp Baking Powder (Straight Phosphate, Double Acting)
0 1/4 tsp Salt
4 oz Cream Cheese
2 tbsp Erythritol
4 piece Starlight Mints, sugar-free

DIRECTIONS

Please powder the erythritol before making the frosting for this recipe. Place 2 tablespoons in a blender and pulse 3-4 times until powdered. To crush peppermint candies place them in a zip top bag and hit with a hammer.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Prepare a muffin tin with 6 paper cups. Set aside.
In a medium bowl whisk the eggs with the coconut milk, granular sugar substitute (xylitol), vanilla, peppermint extract and 3 tablespoons melted butter. Set aside.
In a small bowl whisk together the coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Add to egg mixture whisking to incorporate all ingredients for about a minute. Pour into the 6 paper cups, place in the oven and bake until fully set in the center; about 15-18 minutes. When done, set on a wire rack to cool.
Make Frosting: In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add 1/4 cup (or 4 tbsp) softened butter and continue to beat another minute. Add the powdered erythritol; beat another minute then add peppermint extract and food coloring as desired (optional; red is pretty as pictured and green is festive with the red and white candies). Adjust for sweetness by adding a pinch of stevia if desired. Frost cupcakes using a piping bag or by hand. Sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies.
