Description
Smooth, minty, and chocolate-drizzled Easy Christmas Peppermint Creams a no-bake holiday favorite that’s quick, festive, and perfect for gifting or dessert platters.
Ingredients
1 tbsp full-fat condensed milk
1 to 2 tsp peppermint extract
14 oz powdered sugar, sifted
3.5 oz dark chocolate chunks (70% cacao, e.g., Ghirardelli)
Instructions
1. Mix powdered sugar, condensed milk, peppermint extract, and 2 tbsp water in a large bowl until a stiff paste forms. Adjust with more sugar or water as needed.
2. Dust surface and rolling pin with powdered sugar, then roll out paste to about 0.5 cm thick.
3. Use a 4 cm round cutter dipped in powdered sugar to cut out 24 rounds. Let them dry slightly on parchment.
4. Melt dark chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
5. Transfer chocolate to a piping bag fitted with a small plain nozzle and drizzle over the rounds.
6. Chill for about 10 minutes until chocolate sets completely.
Notes
Use sifted powdered sugar for the smoothest texture.
Adjust paste consistency by adding water or powdered sugar as needed.
Use a small nozzle for precise chocolate drizzles.
Chill the rounds briefly after decorating so the chocolate sets neatly.
