(Experiment 250) York peppermint patties

Ingredients

  • 1/4 tsp peppermint oil* food grade or 1tsp peppermint extract
  • 240 g icing sugar
  • dash vanilla extract
  • 30 g cream 35% heavy
  • 20 g butter
  • 250 g chocolate

Instructions

  • In a stand mixer put all the ingredients except the chocolate and mix until combined. At first, it will be grainy but after 2-3 minutes you should have 2-3 big chunks. If the texture is smooth, you are done.
  • Cut the ball in half and put one half between 2 parchment papers, press it with your hands then roll it using a rolling pin. Roll until you have the desired thickness, somewhere between 1/8 to 1/4″. Repeat for the second half. Note you can do it in 1 shot but it will get very difficult to roll it down. Just easier to split the job in half.
  • At this point, the mixture will be soft so put it in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
  • Take it out of the fridge, remove the top parchment paper, and then using a cookie cutter(or a shooter glass), make circles or whatever shape you fancy. Put the pieces back in the freezer for at least 15 minutes. This will make things easier for the chocolate coating.
  • You now need to temper your chocolate . Then simply dip them into the chocolate using a fork and lay them on parchment paper.

Notes

Much better to use oil than extract. If you are in Canada, Bulk Barn carries multiple oils. I think I paid 5$ for 2 bottles
