Categories     Treat

Time 35m

Yield makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 4

250g icing sugar
1 egg white
few drops of peppermint essence
dark chocolate (optional)

Steps:

  • Sieve the icing sugar into a large bowl. Add a little of the egg white and a few drops of the peppermint essence and mix really well. You want the mixture to come together as a soft dough, so keep adding a little egg white until this starts to happen (you might not need to use all of it). Taste the mixture and add more peppermint essence if desired.
  • Divide the mixture into 20 small balls, then flatten them gently with your fingertips into discs.
  • Place baking parchment on a large board or tray and space out the discs. Meanwhile, tip the chocolate into a microwavable bowl and heat in 30 second intervals in the microwave until melted, stirring after each blast. Once melted, leave the chocolate to cool for 5-10 mins then carefully dip the peppermint creams in the melted chocolate until they are half coated. Lay them back on the baking parchment to set for 3-4 hours or overnight.

Peppermint Extract

Tips:

  • Temper the chocolate properly: Tempering the chocolate will help it set smoothly and give it a glossy finish. If you're not sure how to temper chocolate, there are plenty of resources available online.
  • Use fresh mint: Fresh mint will give these creams the best flavor. If you can't find fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Chill the creams thoroughly: Chilling the creams will help them set properly and make them easier to work with.
  • Be patient: Making these creams takes a little time, but it's worth it! Just be patient and follow the instructions carefully.

Conclusion:

Chocolate mint creams are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give these chocolate mint creams a try!
