Chocolate Mint Creams Food

PEPPERMINT CREAMS

Steps:

• Sieve the icing sugar into a large bowl. Add a little of the egg white and a few drops of the peppermint essence and mix really well. You want the mixture to come together as a soft dough, so keep adding a little egg white until this starts to happen (you might not need to use all of it). Taste the mixture and add more peppermint essence if desired.
• Divide the mixture into 20 small balls, then flatten them gently with your fingertips into discs.
• Place baking parchment on a large board or tray and space out the discs. Meanwhile, tip the chocolate into a microwavable bowl and heat in 30 second intervals in the microwave until melted, stirring after each blast. Once melted, leave the chocolate to cool for 5-10 mins then carefully dip the peppermint creams in the melted chocolate until they are half coated. Lay them back on the baking parchment to set for 3-4 hours or overnight.

MINT CHOCOLATE POKE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9X13 pan.
• Prepare cake according to package instructions. Remove from oven once baked and use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes in even intervals all over the top of the cake (about 1" apart). Make sure to only poke the holes about 3/4 of the way into the cake- don't go all the way to the bottom.
• Remove the lid from the fudge and heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Remove and stir and then microwave again for another 30 seconds, stirring until smooth. If the hot fudge is still too thick to pour, you can warm it for another 15-30 seconds. Pour the hot fudge evenly all over the top of the cake.

EASY HOMEMADE MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a blender combine all ingredients except chocolate chips. If using something from our list above to make your ice cream green, start with less of that ingredient then add more as you blend if desired. Using a LOW blender setting, process until smooth. Do not use high settings for this because it may clump. It should be smooth.
• Pour into a freezer-safe dish. Sprinkle with chocolate chips as desired. Cover dish and freeze for 4 hours or overnight.
• Using an ice cream scoop, serve and enjoy immediately.
• Stays good in the freezer for up to 2 weeks as long as it's sealed well to prevent freezer burn.
• Enjoy!

CHICKPEA MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place the chickpeas on a clean dish towel or a couple paper towels and cover with a paper towel. Gently rub the chickpeas until they are completely dry and the skins start to fall off. Use your fingers to peel off any remaining skins (the chickpeas should easily pop out).
• Place the skinned chickpeas, coconut cream, dates and mint extract in a blender. Blend, stopping and scraping down the sides of the container with a rubber spatula as needed, until very smooth, about 1 minute. It's okay if there are some specks from the dates, but the mixture should be smooth and similar in texture to a thick milkshake. Add the food coloring and blend until combined (the color should resemble the inside of a ripe avocado).
• Pour one-third of the chickpea mixture into a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan, then top with one-third of the baking chips, making sure to go all the way to the edges of the pan. Pour half of the remaining chickpea mixture into the pan, then top with half of the remaining baking chips. Add the remaining chickpea mixture, then top with the remaining baking chips. Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and freeze until completely firm, at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
• Let the ice cream sit at room temperature to soften before scooping, 10 to 15 minutes. Scoop into bowls or vegan ice cream cones and serve.
