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)

Instructions

  • Start by sieving the icing sugar into a large mixing bowl. This ensures your Egg-free peppermint creams have a smooth texture without lumps.
  • Add in the condensed milk. Mix until you form a soft but non-sticky dough.
  • Mix in the peppermint extract. This is where the magic happens!
  • If you’re feeling extra, add those two drops of green food coloring for that classic peppermint look.
  • Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until about 1/4 inch (0.6cm) thick.
  • Using a cookie cutter (or the rim of a small glass), cut out your desired shapes.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
