Use this icing with the Chocolate-Peppermint Cake. Peppermint extract is highly concentrated, so a very small amount is all that is needed.

Steps:
- Place chocolate in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan, bring heavy cream to a boil over high heat; stir in peppermint extract. Strain cream into chocolate. Let stand 5 minutes; stir until smooth (mixture will appear oily at first.) Cool until mixture falls in ribbons when spoon is lifted, 2 to 6 minutes.
- To ice cake, set the cake on a serving platter. Tuck parchment or waxed paper under sides of cake (to keep platter clean). Pour icing onto center of cake. Use an offset spatula or a dinner knife to spread evenly over the top and down the sides. Let set, about 30 minutes.

[email protected]I had some trouble getting the icing to the right consistency. It was too thick at first, so I had to add more milk. Then it was too thin, so I had to add more powdered sugar.

[email protected]This icing was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I would probably use less sugar next time.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of peppermint, but I really enjoyed this icing. The chocolate flavor is rich and decadent, and the peppermint adds a nice touch of freshness.
