Ingredients

• 9 ounces white chocolate, broken into small pieces
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 egg white
• 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract (I use Boyajian natural peppermint flavour)
• 6 fresh mint leaves, optional

Cook Mode (Keep screen awake)
NEW: You can now switch to Cook Mode to keep your screen awake.

Directions

1. Place the white chocolate pieces in a bowl over a pan of gently simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted, then remove and cool slightly on a cold surface.
2. In another bowl, whisk the cream, egg white, and peppermint extract to soft peaks using an electric mixer.
3. Stir a spoonful of the whipped mixture into the chocolate, then gently fold the chocolate into the remaining cream until combined.
4. Spoon into 6 small glasses (about 60ml or 1/4 cup each).
5. Chill in the fridge, or freeze for 10-15 minutes for quicker setting. Garnish with mint leaves just before serving.
