Yield: 36

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces and chilled
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling

  • 2 egg whites
  • 3 cups icing sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract

Directions

Crust

  1. For the crusts, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Pulse coconut, sugar, flour, cookie crumbs, cocoa and salt in a food processor (just to grind the coconut a bit). Add butter and pulse until crumbly. Add yolks and vanilla and pulse until dough just starts to come together.
  3. Spoon a tablespoonful of dough into each cup of an ungreased mini-muffin tin. Press dough firmly to pack and bake for 15 minutes. Allow to cool while preparing filling.

Filling

  1. Beat egg whites until foamy, then slowly add in 2 ½ cups icing sugar on low speed. Add peppermint extract and increase speed to high. Beat for 3 minutes, until filling has body, but is still soft. Adjust with additional icing sugar, if needed.
  2. Spoon or pipe a tablespoonful of filling into cooled shells and let set in an airtight container for at least 2 hours before serving.
