Rich, creamy, and totally addictive. A perfect refreshing dessert after any Yom Tov seudah. The best part is that there’s no equipment necessary, and they freeze well. They taste even better straight from the freezer!   Yields 36 bars (less if you cut them larger)

Ingredients

Crust

  • scant 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • full 1/3 cup coconut oil, slightly warmed

Filling

  • 2/3 cup sugar

  • 1/3 cup coconut oil

  • 1 (3-and-1/2-oz./100-g) bar Schmerling’s Dark Mint 72% cocoa bar

  • 1/2 teaspoon Gefen Cocoa Powder

  • 2 eggs

Directions

Prepare the Chocolate Mint Bars

1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a nine-inch (23-centimeter) square pan with Gefen Parchment Paper.

2.

For the crust: Whisk together the almond flour, sugar, potato starch, and salt in a small bowl. Add the coconut oil and mix together well with a spoon or your fingers until the mixture is crumbly. Press onto the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for eight minutes.

3.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling: In a medium-sized pot over low heat, heat the sugar and coconut oil until the sugar starts to melt and is a very pale beige. Remove from heat. Add the chocolate bar, broken in pieces, and the cocoa. Blend together well until the chocolate is completely melted.

4.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, salt, vanilla, and vinegar until frothy. Add to the chocolate mixture and quickly whisk all together until creamy. Pour over crust and return to oven for 18–20 minutes.

5.

Remove from oven and allow to cool. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar, if desired.

Notes:

Don’t worry if the sugar looks grainy when you remove the pot from the flame. It mostly melts while mixing. The tiny pieces that are left enhance the texture by adding an ever-so-slight crunch.
