Copha is a vegetable shortening that has been around forever (and the key ingredient in kids chocolate crackles!) Used in baking and cooking, Copha is made with more than 99% coconut oil and less than 1% soy lecithin. It’s also gluten free, contains no palm oil, and remains stable in room temperature up to 36 degrees Celsius. In this thermomix peppermint slice recipe, I recommend that Copha be used, rather than coconut oil, for the best result.
