Peppermint Coffee Cream Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Combine half-and-half and milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat until steaming, about 10 minutes; do not bring to a boil.
• Stir in sugar. Heat until sugar has dissolved, about 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla and peppermint extracts.

Steps:

• Warm a brandy glass.
• Add the creme de menthe and the sugar.
• Add the hot coffee, stir well.
• Pour the whipped cream over a spoon onto the top of the coffee.
• Decorate with the slivers of mint chocolate. Drink through the cream without mixing.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, blend together cream cheese and butter.
• Slowly add powdered sugar, stirring well between each addition.
• Stir in peppermint extract.
• If you want to add color to your mints, you can either add all six drops to the full mixture, or divide the mixture in half and only add three drops to one half and leave the other half white.
• Make 1 inch balls of the mixture and press onto wax paper or parchment paper with the bottom of a glass dipped in powdered sugar.
• You can use a 2" cookie press to press them.
• I just press them with my fingers.
• Let cool for four hours uncovered.
• Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
