Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
- 100 grams White chocolate chips
- 2 drops Green food coloring (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
Instructions
In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, heavy cream, and unsalted butter.
Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water to create a double boiler. Gently heat the mixture, stirring often, until smooth and fully melted.
Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the peppermint extract. Let the mixture cool slightly before refrigerating it for 1 to 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
Once chilled and set, use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out portions of the chocolate mixture. Roll them between your hands to form bite-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate again for 30 minutes.
In a separate heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate chips using the same double-boiler method or in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between.
If desired, add green food coloring to the melted white chocolate and mix until evenly colored.
Dip each chocolate ball halfway into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place the balls back onto the parchment-lined tray.
Dust the tops of the balls lightly with cocoa powder for a beautifully finished look.
Chill the finished Chocolate Mint Melts in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
