FROZEN CHOCOLATE MINT DESSERT



Frozen Chocolate Mint Dessert image

"This is adapted from my great-aunt's recipe for grasshopper pie. It came about by accident, as I put in too much mint extract. To cut the mint taste with something gooey and chocolaty, I ended up flipping the whole pie upside-down on top of a brownie crust." Sarah Newman - Brooklyn Center, Minnesota

FROZEN CHOCOLATE "FRANGO" MINTS



Frozen Chocolate

This recipe came from our yacht club news letter. We don't have a sailboat there anymore, but we are still members. I don't care so much about what's in the flier except for the recipes! This one is really nice, but must remain frozen. We use the name "Frango" loosely around this area. True Frangos were developed and sold by the now out-of-business local Frederick & Nelson Dept. Store. We miss them. I'm thinking of using orange extract, raspberry extract, there are many possibilities! This recipe calls for 18 cupcake liners, which in my opinion would make for HUGE Frangos, so I used candy foil liners. It will make about double if candy liners are used!

Time 1h15m

Yield 18 candy liner cups, 9-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
3 unsweetened chocolate squares, melted
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
vanilla wafer crumbs
5 egg yolks
18 foil liners, for candy

Steps:

  • Using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add melted chocolate and continue beating until thoroughly mixed.
  • Add egg yolks and beat again until fluffy.
  • Beat in peppermint extract.
  • Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon cookie crumbs into candy liners and top with chocolate mixture.
  • Freeze for at least 1 hour. Serve straight from the freezer and re-freeze leftover. You can top these with maraschino cherries, crushed candy canes, even whipped cream, but not necessary. (For a more decadent dessert, serve in pre-made chocolate shells instead of candy liners.

Tips:

  • Chill the pan before pouring in the chocolate mixture. This will help the chocolate set quickly and smoothly.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to line it with parchment paper so the dessert doesn't stick.
  • Be patient when freezing the dessert. It needs at least 4 hours to set properly.
  • When you're ready to serve the dessert, let it thaw for about 15 minutes. This will make it easier to slice and serve.
  • Garnish the dessert with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh mint leaves.

Conclusion:

This frozen chocolate mint dessert is a delicious and refreshing treat that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying dessert, give this recipe a try.
