Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Icing sugar: 2 cups 500g
  • Condensed milk: 2 tbsp 30ml
  • Peppermint extract: 1 tsp 5ml
  • Green food coloring: 2 drops optional for that minty look!
  • Dark chocolate for dipping: 100g (optional)

Method
 

  1. Start by sieving the icing sugar into a large mixing bowl. This ensures your Egg-free peppermint creams have a smooth texture without lumps.
  2. Add in the condensed milk. Mix until you form a soft but non-sticky dough.
  3. Mix in the peppermint extract. This is where the magic happens!
  4. If you’re feeling extra, add those two drops of green food coloring for that classic peppermint look.
  5. Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until about 1/4 inch (0.6cm) thick.
  6. Using a cookie cutter (or the rim of a small glass), cut out your desired shapes.
  7. Place the shapes on a tray lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. This helps the Egg-free peppermint creams to set properly.
  8. For a decadent touch, melt the dark chocolate (if you’re using it) in a double boiler or microwave. Dip half of each peppermint cream into the melted chocolate. Let any excess drip off.
  9. Place the chocolate-dipped creams back on the parchment paper and allow the chocolate to set. This usually takes another 15-20 minutes.

Notes

For an extra minty kick, consider adding an extra 1/2 tsp of peppermint extract. But remember, a little goes a long way!
The Egg-free peppermint creams set faster in the freezer. If you’re short on time, pop them in for about 20 minutes.
If you’re not a fan of chocolate, these treats taste just as dreamy without the chocolate dip.
