Peppermint Creams Recipe
Peppermint creams are a traditional home made sweet and easy to make, this is an easy recipe.
Ingredients
| 450g | Icing sugar, sieved |
| 125ml | Sweetened condensed milk (can use coconut sweetened condensed milk) |
| Few drops | of Steenbergs organic peppermint extract |
| 150g | Plain dark chocolate |
Method
- Place the icing sugar in a large bowl and add the condensed milk. Mix together. Add a few drops of peppermint extract and knead into a smooth even mixture. Check the flavouring and add more if needed.
- Lightly dust a work surface with a little icing sugar and roll out to 5mm in thickness. Cut into rounds and leave to dry on a piece of baking paper. I use a small shot glass as this is a perfect 2.5cm diameter.
- A few hours later, melt the chocolate, then dip each sweet into the melted chocolate until about half covered and leave to set on baking paper.
