Tips

  • Taste the cream after steeping. For a stronger mint flavor, steep for up to 1 hour.
  • No fresh mint? Skip the heating and steeping, and whisk in ½ tsp peppermint extract with the sugar.
  • For thin chocolate shards, melt the chocolate with 1 tsp coconut oil and drizzle it into the hole instead.

Why it works

Steeping whole leaves pulls the mint oils into the warm cream without the grassy taste or green color that blending gives. Cream cheese adds body so the tubpint spins smooth.
