After Dinner Mint Icing image

I came up with this recipe by accident when some mint icing I made tasted too "toothpastey". Add some unsweetened chocolate, and hey presto, you've got a delicious after dinner mint taste that goes well with any chocolate based cake! Mmmm...

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
1/2 c butter or margarine (softened)
4 c confectioners' sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp mint extract
4 Tbsp milk or cream

Steps:

  • 1. Melt chocolate in microwave at a medium heat, stirring every 30 seconds until almost melted. It will continue to melt after being removed from the microwave, so don't overcook it. Leave that to cool for 5 minutes.
  • 2. Beat butter/margarine with, 2 cups of confectioners sugar until fluffy. Add salt, mint extract, milk/cream, melted chocolate, and the remaining 2 cups of sugar; and beat on high speed until well blended.
  • 3. This should give you a perfect piping consistency. Add more or less milk/cream to meet your particular cake decorating needs.

I'm not a fan of mint, but this icing was surprisingly good. It's not too minty, and it has a nice, creamy texture.
