Old Fashioned Butter Mint

I love butter mints. Most call for Peppermint extract. This recipe uses doTERRA CPTG Essential Oil which is safe for internal use. Learn more about cooking with Essential Oils here.

Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted (plus extra for dusting)
1–2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
10-15 drops doTERRA Essential Oil (Peppermint, Supermint, Wild Orange, or Madagascar Vanilla)
Pinch of salt (optional)
Food coloring (optional, gel recommended for vibrant colors)

Instructions

Cream the butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until it is smooth and creamy.
Mix in flavorings: Add the heavy cream, essential oil, and salt (if using), mixing until fully combined.
Add sugar: Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed until a thick, smooth, and pliable dough forms. The consistency should resemble playdough. If the dough is too dry, add a few drops of heavy cream; if too sticky, add a tablespoon of powdered sugar.
Color the dough (optional): If using food coloring, divide the dough into separate portions for different colors. Knead a few drops of gel food coloring into each portion until the color is evenly distributed.
Shape the mints: On a surface lightly dusted with powdered sugar, roll small portions of the dough into ropes about ½ inch thick. Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut the ropes into small, bite-sized pieces.
Dry the mints: Arrange the cut pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper, ensuring they do not touch.
Set the mints: Allow the mints to air-dry, uncovered, at room temperature for 24 to 72 hours. The outside should become firm while the inside remains soft and creamy.
Store: Once dried, transfer the mints to an airtight container. Layer the mints between sheets of parchment paper and store them in a cool, dry place for up to a month. May be stored in the refrigerator up to 3 months.

Choffy Tiramisu

Leave a reply

This is a recipe I created back in 2012 when I was a Choffy Distributor. I love Choffy but I am not a fan of coffee or alcohol so this is the perfect replacement for me and my family. For my daughter that is gluten free we substitute gluten free graham crackers for the Lady fingers and do it in a mini bread pan for her.

Ingredients

3-4 cups of strongly brewed Choffy**
1/2 ounces rum extra (to your liking) or 1/4 cup Butter Rum Syrup
3 egg yolks
1 ¾ cup whipping cream, divided
½ cup sugar
2 cups mascarpone cheese
36 to 42 Italian-style hard ladyfinger biscuits
Optional 2-4 tablespoons Choffy Grinds Powder
Optional Chocolate Curls or Grated Chocolate

Directions

Combine the Choffy and run extract in a bowl or shallow baking dish and set aside.

Bring a small saucepan with 2 inches of water to a boil over high heat. In a small heatproof bowl that will fit on top of the saucepan, or in a double boiler, combine the egg yolks and 1/2 cup of the whipping cream. Place over the hot water and whisk continuously until the mixture is 160 degrees F and coats the back of a spoon, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk for 3 to 4 minutes to cool. Set aside to cool completely, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add the remaining whipping cream, prepared yolk mixture, and sugar and beat until soft peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the mascarpone and combine well.

Place 1 layer of the ladyfingers in a 9 by 13-inch pan; most pans this size fit them in 6 rows of 3. Then, dip both sides of the ladyfingers quickly into the Choffy mixture and place back into the pan. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the cookies. . Repeat with another layer. Optional sprinkle with half of the Choffy powder and or chocolate. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours.

To serve cut with a sharp thin knife into squares.

*Options for making Choffy Grind Powder

1- Completely dry the brewed grinds on the fruit roll tray of a food dehydrator. Grind into fine powder using a Mortar and Pestal. (My favorite way)

2- Completely dry the brewed grinds on the fruit roll tray of a food dehydrator. Grind into fine powder using spice grinder.

3- Grind wet grinds in a food processor and then dehydrate.

**To strongly brew Choffy add 1 ½ cups Choffy to 32 oz Boiling Water brewed in the 48oz French Press for 30 minutes. Our favorite is to blend IC French Roast, Volta and Ecuador French Roast together.
