Expert Tips
Follow our top tips for the perfect Thermomix Peppermint Brownies!
- salted or unsalted butter can be used in this recipe. I generally use unsalted butter as I find it cuts through the sweetness of the brownie.
- I recommend using dark chocolate melts instead of regular dark chocolate, purely because it melts easier.
- peppermint extract can be purchased in the baking aisle (near the vanilla extract).
- you can use pure icing sugar or icing sugar mixture for the frosting. Please note that pure icing sugar sets firmer (and therefore, is better for school lunch boxes).
- when making the frosting, start by adding 2 tablespoons of boiling water. If the frosting is thick but spreadable, it’s ready to use. If not, add 1 extra tablespoon of boiling water and mix through.
- Store the brownie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Alternatively, freeze for up to 1 month.
FAQs
