How to Make Easy Christmas Peppermint Creams
- In a large bowl, combine powdered sugar, condensed milk, peppermint extract, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir until a stiff paste forms. Adjust the mixture with more sugar or water until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Lightly dust your surface and rolling pin with powdered sugar. Roll out the paste to about 0.5 cm thick, ensuring the thickness is even for consistent cooking.
- Using a 4 cm round cutter dipped in powdered sugar, cut out 24 rounds. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and let them dry slightly.
- In a heat-proof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over simmering water, stirring until it's smooth and glossy. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before using.
- Transfer the slightly cooled melted chocolate into a piping bag fitted with a small plain nozzle. Drizzle the chocolate generously over the dried rounds, creating a beautiful pattern.
- Place the chocolate-drizzled rounds in the refrigerator and chill for about 10 minutes, allowing the chocolate to fully set and become crisp.
- Optional: Sprinkle some crushed peppermint candies on top for an extra festive touch!
