Sophie's peppermint thins
- 300 grams dark chocolate
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
- 225 grams icing sugar
- Melt half of your dark chocolate in a bowl over boiling water.
- Use a chocolate thermometer to heat to 48-49C.
- Once you've reached the desired temperature, remove from the heat.
- Allow to cool to 30C.
- Pour into a grease paper lined pan.
- Allow to cool completely.
- While the chocolate is cooling, whisk your egg and peppermint together.
- Once frothy, mix your icing sugar in gradually.
- When your chocolate is set, spread your peppermint over it.
- Put in the fridge to continue setting.
- While it's setting, repeat the chocolate process from before.
- Pour over the top of the peppermint.
- Shake it gently to make sure it is spread evenly.
- I topped mine with green sugar and some sugar flowers that my grandma made.
- Once fully set, remove from the tin and cut into 16 pieces.
