Cream Filling

  • 150 grams Condensed Milk Brings creaminess and moisture to the filling; can use dairy-free condensed milk for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon Peppermint Flavoring Delivers that signature minty taste; can substitute with mint extract if needed.
  • 2 tablespoons Water Helps achieve the desired consistency in the mixture; adjust as necessary based on paste texture.
Chocolate Coating
  • 200 grams Dark Chocolate Creates a rich, delectable coating for the creams; feel free to use milk chocolate or white chocolate variations.

  • Rolling Pin

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine icing sugar, condensed milk, peppermint flavoring, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir until a stiff paste forms, about 2–3 minutes of mixing.
  2. Dust a clean work surface with icing sugar and roll out the peppermint paste to a thickness of about 0.5 cm using a rolling pin, which takes around 2–3 minutes.
  3. Using a 4 cm cutter dusted with icing sugar, stamp out 24 rounds from the rolled paste and place on a parchment-lined tray. Let them dry for about 30 minutes.
  4. Melt dark chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over simmering water, stirring continuously for 5–7 minutes until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
  5. Transfer the melted chocolate into a piping bag and drizzle over each peppermint round in a zig-zag pattern.
  6. Place the decorated rounds into the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set the chocolate.
