- This time I have mint, nuts, silver dragees, and chocolate shapes I made with a quick-dry chocolate pen on parchment paper on my finished dish.
- 10 g of mint leaves is about enough to fill a 10 cm wide dish.
- Note: If using low fat milk and cream, each serving is ~102 kcal.
- If using regular milk and vegetable heavy cream, each serving is ~127 kcal (both of these are without toppings).
- Story time!
- This is the potted mint plant I bought.
- I really like choco-mint flavored sweets, so I was really eager to make something with it.
- I started with mousse.
