Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Mint Paste: In a large mixing bowl, combine icing sugar, condensed milk, peppermint flavoring, and water. Mix well until it forms a stiff paste.
  2. Adjust Consistency: Check the peppermint paste; if too thick, add water a teaspoon at a time until it reaches the desired texture.
  3. Roll Out the Paste: Dust a clean surface and rolling pin with icing sugar. Roll out the peppermint paste to about 0.5 cm thickness.
  4. Cut Out Rounds: Use a 4 cm cutter to stamp out rounds from the pasted mixture. Arrange them on a parchment-lined tray.
  5. Melt the Dark Chocolate: Place dark chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over simmering water and stir until fully melted.
  6. Pipe Chocolate Decoration: Transfer melted chocolate to a piping bag and pipe a zig-zag pattern over each peppermint round.
  7. Chill to Set: Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Gently lift the Christmas Peppermint Creams off the parchment paper and store in an airtight container.
