Are you a fan of Arnott’s Mint Slice? For my international readers, Mint Slice is a delicious chocolate cookie topped with a mint cream and coated in dark chocolate.
Mint Slice is one of Troy’s all time favourite biscuits, so I wanted to try my hand at creating my own version. I started with a crunchy chocolate cookie base. One of the great things about a mint slice is the combination of textures. The base is crunchy, then it has a creamy middle and chocolate coating. So with the base nailed down I decided to tackle the filling, and for this I went with a simple combination of icing sugar and peppermint flavouring oil.
The peppermint icing was spread over the top of the biscuit and left to set. Once set the whole cookie was dipped in a bowl of melted dark chocolate and left to set. The only thing that didn’t go according to plan was the fact I happened to pick two especially humid days in Brisbane to make and photograph my creations. Melting chocolate aside, my cookies taste pretty close to the real thing.
While I’ll admit making your own Mint Slice at home is a little fiddly, the great thing about it, apart from knowing every single ingredient that goes into making it, is the fact you can increase or decrease the intensity of the peppermint to meet your tastes. You could even substitute the peppermint flavouring for another flavouring essence. I think next time I’m going to try an orange flavouring……mmmm chocolate orange!
