With an abundance of pretty box’s and jars around I decided to join the homemade brigade and make some peppermint creams.
Ingredients
425g/15oz sieved icing sugar (plus some for rolling out)
White of one small egg
One teaspoon of crème de menthe or peppermint essence
½ lemon, juice only
175g/6oz plain chocolate
Some greaseproof paper
Method
Whisk egg white until you have soft peaks then slowly add the crème de menthe into a stiff paste
Dust your board with icing sugar
Roll out the mixture very thinly
Melt the chocolate in a bowl over hot water
Brush a sheet of greaseproof paper with oil
Cut your mint mixture into 2in rounds
Dip half the rounds in the chocolate mixture then place on the greaseproof paper to set
Sounds like an excellent recipe….;)x
A little bit toooo moorish, yum, yum :)):)
