mint melt-away-ish
i was hungry for a small snack last night, but really didn't want to dip into the cream cheese as i already had too much earlier in day, so I experimented.
1 Tbsp coconut oil
peppermint extract
sweetener
i melted the coconut oil in a very small dish, the kind chefs on tv use for premeasuring the spices. Then I mixed in liquid splenda and peppermint extract, and placed in the freezer.
I believe the splenda separated out as there was liquid on the bottom of the dish i tossed out. i also seemed to have a sweet coating on lips all night that it took a while to figure out was probably the splenda. i kept wondering when I put on the kids chapstick every time I licked my lips.
Going to try this again since the taste was amazing, and it was kind of like a mint meltaway, but going to try different sweeteners to see if powdered ones separate less.
