Ingredients You Will Need
For the Filling:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons softened butter
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 tablespoon heavy cream
For the Chocolate Coating:
8 ounces white chocolate chips
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
Red food coloring
Once you have all of your ingredients gathered, you can begin making your own homemade peppermint patties. This recipe will yield about 24 patties, so it's perfect for sharing with friends and family or for adding to your holiday dessert platter.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, softened butter, peppermint extract, and heavy cream. Mix until a smooth dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, you can add a little more heavy cream. Once the dough is well combined, place it in the refrigerator to chill for about 15 minutes.
Step 2: Roll Out the Dough
Once the dough has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and place it between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness. If the dough becomes too soft, you can put it back in the fridge for a few minutes to firm up.
Step 3: Cut Out the Patties
Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out circles from the rolled-out dough. Place the circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and return them to the refrigerator to chill for another 15 minutes.
Step 4: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and vegetable shortening together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth. Add a few drops of red food coloring to create a pink hue.
Step 5: Dip the Patties
Remove the chilled patties from the refrigerator and dip them one by one into the melted chocolate, using a fork to fully coat them. Place the dipped patties back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and return them to the refrigerator to set for about 10 minutes.
Step 6: Decorate and Enjoy
Once the chocolate has hardened, you can decorate your peppermint patties with a drizzle of white chocolate or some crushed candy canes. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve them. These festive treats make great gifts or a tasty addition to any holiday party.
Now that you have your own homemade peppermint patties, you can enjoy this classic Christmas treat anytime you want. And the best part? They're so easy to make that you can whip up a batch whenever you're craving something sweet. Happy holidays and happy snacking!
