3 Fun Holiday Recipes with Essential Oils

12/21/2015

 
Picture
Around the holidays, it's always fun to mix-in new recipes instead of the same old stuff. This year I started to add essential oils into my diet... Baking & cooking with essential oils? Yep, you heard it: a world where each drop is filled with delicious, vibrant taste. An art I've only just begun to dabble in, we're excited to share with you a few "naughty" recipes to treat your guests for the holidays. Enjoy! I'm always looking for new and exciting EO recipes - please share your favorite EO recipe in the comments.

1. Peppermint Truffle

   INGREDIENTS
  • 1 pack (12 oz.) Organic Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (Sunspire)
  • 1/2 cup Organic Bittersweet Chocolate Chips (Sunspire)
  • 1 cup Organic Valley brand Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 5 TBSP Organic Valley brand Unsalted Sweet Cream Butter softened
  • 5-15 drops of your choice of Young Living Essential Oil – choose Lavender, Orange, or Peppermint (the amount of essential oil adjusted to your taste preferences)
*** Peppermint is very strong… consider using a drop of YL peppermint oil and adjust accordingly.

   DIRECTIONS
  1. Combine both bags of chocolate chips in a medium sized mixing bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat the whipping cream to a strong simmer.  Pour over the chocolate chips. Let stand for a few minutes so chips will soften and melt.  Stir until smooth.
  3. In a small bowl, whip butter, sugar, and your desired choice of Young Living Essential Oil. *Start by using 5 drops of essential oil.  You can always add more if you want a stronger flavor. *the oil you choose will determine the amount of drops needed.
  4. Now pour your small bowl of butter, sugar and essential oil into the chocolate chip mixture. Use either an electric hand mixer or whisk manually, until smooth and creamy. Taste to see if you want to add more essential oil.
  5. Put bowl in fridge for at least an hour. Remove once its firm.
  6. Once firm, scoop out the chocolate by using a melon ball scooper. Roll into 1 inch balls using your hands. Place chocolate balls on a wax paper lined cookie sheet.
  7. Roll each chocolate ball into cocoa powder or simply shake it on with a sifter.
  8. Can also drizzle with more melted chocolate and coat with toasted coconut, finely ground nuts, orange zest, etc.​​

​ 3. Fudgy “Thin” Mint Brownies

DIRECTIONS
​Simply add 8-10 drops of YL Peppermint Essential Oil to your favorite brownie recipe or box mix! These are SO delicious!!

Can You Just Use Any Essential Oils?
No - is the short answer. Not all essential oils are created equal. I've tried a few different brands. I’ve done a bunch of research on various essential oils and the one particular brand that sticks out head-and-shoulders above the rest is Young Living Essential Oils.
Choosing Quality Essential Oils

"About Peppermint" Flyer
NOTE:  You can NOT cook with any essential oil!  Most essential oils are not therapeutic grade, thus are not for internal use. They are cosmetic/fragrant oils.  Please do not cook with your essential oil unless you're using  Young Living or food grade safe EO's! 
*We do not advocate the use of any other brand of essential oils in food preparation as they are generally aromatherapy grade and are typically labeled with precautions against using them in any other fashion.

Hey, what's your favorite essential oil recipe? Please share in the comments... I'm always looking for fun ways to use my oils. Happy Holidays!
