This is a very well know after eight recipe, so I’m not going to take all the credit for it! I got this recipe from deliciousmagazine.co.uk and I had to admit it was a great success, I added some coconut on top to change it up slightly… Otherwise it’s a classic nice easy and fun pudding for after meal time!
Ingredients:
420g of dark chocolate
2 large eggs
440g icing sugar
3 1/2 tbsp peppermint extract (I like it minty!)
3 drops of green food colouring
coconut (garnishing on top)
Method:
Melt 200g of the chocolate over a heatproof bowl and spread thinly on a rectangular tray with baking paper roughly 25cm x 35cm and leave in the fridge to harden. Then it’s time to make the fondant which is very easy, whisk the egg whites and sift in half the icing sugar and mix well, next add the peppermint extract and then add the other half of icing sugar and the food colouring to make a smooth paste. Then spread it over the harden chocolate and put back in the fridge. Lastly melt the other 220g of chocolate and pour over the fondant after it’s set and sprinkle some coconut on top and leave to harden in the fridge.
After the mints have hardened cut into equal squares and continue to leave in the fridge to set. And then eat with some fresh fruit and a glass of milk and enjoy…
