Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 250 grams digestive biscuits (or graham crackers), finely crushed
- 300 grams powdered sugar
- 150 ml condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
- 2 drops green food coloring (optional)
- 250 grams dark chocolate (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or coconut oil, optional for topping shine)
Instructions
Line a 20cm x 20cm (8-inch x 8-inch) baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate (200g) together until smooth. Stir well to combine.
Add the finely crushed digestive biscuits into the melted chocolate mixture and stir until evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the base. Place in the refrigerator to set for 15-20 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, condensed milk, peppermint extract, and green food coloring (if using). Mix until smooth and creamy.
Spread the peppermint filling evenly over the chilled biscuit base. Return the dish to the refrigerator to cool for another 15-20 minutes until the filling is firm.
Melt the remaining dark chocolate (250g) with the vegetable oil (if using) until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly, then pour it over the peppermint layer, spreading it evenly.
Refrigerate the entire slice for at least 1-2 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, remove the slice from the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into 16 squares or desired portions with a sharp knife (for clean edges, wipe the knife with a warm cloth between cuts).
Serve chilled and enjoy your rich, minty Choc Peppermint Slice!
